I’m making a tilemap for a project, extracting each 16x16 tile by hand from a pre-made map. I was curious to know if there was a script or option that would automatically select identical tiles that I have selected to making sure I get all of them easier?

I thought almost for sure that this was possible in the palette’s options menu>select next to the select used/unused tiles command. a select similar tiles command would be useful and seems like something that should already be possible. Especially as an option for tilemap layers.
What about having a similar option for selections? Like scanning the image for identical groups of pixels and automatically adding them to the selection?
OP: if you make sure that your existing tilemap is oriented properly to a grid and starting at 0,0 you can set the layer to TILEMAP by right clicking the layer in the list and CONVERT TO>TILEMAP LAYER. Then set the tile size correctly (8x8, 16x16, etc…) and convert. You will then have a tile palette that automatically removed all redundant tiles (if not, acts as an error check when not removing a tile.)
