Tilemap Export Filtering

I suggest that when you export there should be an option of what to include in the exported file.

I personally don't use the FLIPX and ROT values so increases the filesize of the XML or JSON, and feel that there should be a way to cut down on the size. It causes quite a clutter with multiple layers on a decent size pyxel document.

I agree, I'll probably add this for the next version.

Not exporting empty tiles would also help. Currently, empty-ish layers are exported as a whole bunch of tile index=-1 entries. Leaving those out would already cut down the file size enormously.

Those are needed because you need to know the space is not assigned. The tileset starts at tile 0. Lots of programs parse an empty token in the array as a 0 numerically.

This assignment is needed for the tile system to work, and is needed to be there in the export too.
