Windows Resizing Tileset after use

I have been using a tileset for a bit now, and slowly added tiles as I create a level with them, but now I've run out of room, so I decided to add 64 pixels to the right of the tileset canvas to add more tiles, my problem now is that all the tiles I have placed down have somehow offset themselves (I made sure none of the existing tiles got moved around in the canvas).

I've tried moving the origin in the tileset sprite and even adding offsets to the tileset, but this doesn't fix it.

Surely if I'm adding the extra space to the right of the tileset's canvas this shouldn't affect it right?

My guess is that individual tiles are declared in a horizontal "reading" fashion

0,1,2,3
4,5,6,7
8,9 etc

So by expanding the canvas to the right, you're changing that order.

In theory this means you can expand vertically (downward) but not to the right without affecting your tile placements.

At the moment you cannot resize the tileset once created... But I say "at the moment" because we are working on tools to fix this which will be in an update in the future.

You can safely add tiles to the bottom. We do have some more tile tools coming at some point.
