2014-04-29 v1.11

rearranged main screen - moved loft to the right, in vertical manner (it feels more natural).
added palette helper with ambiguous colors highlighted.
3D LOFT/animation image is now "rotatable" with mouse button held (rotates 3D LOFT model by steps of 45 degrees, and after releasing button - it returns back to 0), the angle can also be changed with the trackbar (it will be kept).
added gamedata path and the config file.
added PCK single image/sheet export into the PNG. Saved using current palette.
added PCK single image import from the PNG. Preferred PNG format - with untouched vanilla palette. PNGs with screwed palette are also imported (as RGBA images), but most probably it could cause color ambiguity. RGB without alpha are ignored.
added "orphan" PCK color tagging (they are red-yellow). Lots of them can be found in the TFTD.
added insert of blank PCK, and delete of "orphan" PCK (when trying to delete used one, it will tell you which MCDs are using it). MCD+PCK integrity is kept (other PCKs referenced in other MCDs of same tileset are updated).
fixed working folder change issue (relative paths were changed after getting into other folder in file selector).

2014-05-01 v1.12

added custom MCD open ("Menu->Open MCD" or with checkbox "Custom").
in the "Custom mode" you can freely choose gametype, and palette for opened tileset (because it doesn't know what game this tileset for).
MCD values list externalized into the config file (MCDEdit.txt), each value discription text is given for the data fields.
vanilla tilesets are now marked with * in the list. They are "most preserved" - adding/deleting of MCDs is disallowed, to keep number of MCD in each tileset intact.
added "Add MCD" item (adds new MCD at the end).
"Checkered" background also affects on MCD list view.

2014-07-22 v1.13

compare mode (set with second path in the config).
PNG sheet import (in the PCK edit screen). Empty sprites at the end are ignored.
added context menu in the MCD selection bar (the same as in the "Edit" menu).
added shaded stripe to preview different light levels (with animation on/off by LMB).
fixed PNG import (system colors of palette was used for TFTD, by mistake).
added "Edit->Save As".
improved "Custom MCD" mode with list of neighbour MCDs from same folder and switch to "vanilla mode" if opened the MCD from vanilla folder.

2014-08-01 v1.14

added "modified" asterix sign at the header, and warning message before closing/switching to another tileset without saving.
added Quick save button.
