Unable to create frames in TileMapLayer

[frederic-bonjour]

Tested versions

v4.5.beta7

System information

Godot v4.5.beta7 - macOS Sequoia (15.4.1) - Multi-window, 1 monitor - Vulkan (Forward+) - integrated Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700B CPU @ 3.20GHz (12 threads) - 16.00 GiB memory

Issue description

In a TileMapLayer, I select a Tile, configure the columns but I was not able to ad frames with the "Add frame" button: when clicking this button, nothing happens.

I tried:

• to reload the project (multiple times)
• create another TileMapLayer
• use another tileset asset

But nothing works.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a TileMapLayer, with a TileSet (128x128px in my case)
2. Select the source texture and accept the creation of the Tiles
3. In the Select tab, select a tile (1 in the image).
4. Under Animation, set the Columns (2 in the image)
5. Under Frames, click the Add element button (3 in the image)

Nothing happens.

Not a bug but slightly unintuitive UI, you have made the tiles next to the first tile tiles themselves, this means you can't pick the neighboring tile, as there's already a tile there, free up the other tiles and you can make them part of the animation properly

Oh, OK! That works, thank you!
Well you're right: the UI may be more intuitive ;)

@frederic-bonjour please close this issue as there is no bug here

This should be left open to discuss improving the UI

No, if you want to discuss improvements that's what http://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/ is for. This is not the place for discussions. @frederic-bonjour please close this issue

Generally yes, but this is not a new feature but a limitation in existing UI

This should not be closed, and please stop giving incorrect advice, thank you for helping but you're not correct in this case
