After using it for a couple of hours I have some feedback

In general the app is great! thanks for making it and for the Linux version

# General

- There doesn't seem to be any way to scale down tiles to the size of the map?  That's useful when I'm using different tilesets with different dimensions (Hex Kit & Isle of Lore)

# Tile picker

- It would be nice if the folders had previews similar to how it works on the palette, right now I need to click each folder individually to find the tile I'm looking for.

- Multi select tiles to quickly randomize between them. Currently the only way of doing this is adding them to the palette.

- Keyboard arrows to move up and down enter and exit a folder, the click target for each folder is just a small line of text so it's easy to miss.

- Parent folder name somewhere, it's easy to get lost when navigating a tile sets and there is no easy way to know the name of the parent folder.

- A Hover effect for the folder row would help knowing what are you going to click.

# Configure pallete

- Double click on a folder name to select toggle the selection

- Sometimes clicks will miss while the preview of the tiles are loading making it really slow to navigate


# Bugs

- Mouse is laggy on Linux haven't tried on Windows so this might be only happening on linux but overall moving the mouse feels quite choppy even in the normal map view

Oh, thank you for the feedback! I've put your ideas on my todo! :)

While not really helpful, the cursor is or should be smooth on Windows and Linux (I tested it on Ubuntu). Can I ask you for your system specs and what distro you are using? Are you using the direct download or the .deb package? And is it choppy on a new, empty map, after starting Hexxmap?

I just tried again and open and closed Hexxmap and the laggy mouse issue seems to be fixed! Not sure what triggered it but if it happens again I will let you know!

Okay, weird! But I'm glad it's not a persistent issue! :D
