This will allow us to create more selection tools in the future, that aren't necessarily rectangular (See #129) and even enhance the current rectangle selection tool (See #56)
Current issues spotted so far:
Drawing is slower for large images, and bucket filling is also considerably slower even on a 64x64 image. Optimizations are required.
Also fixed issue with "Show Guides" view menu option and having multiple projects with guides. Only think remaining is to make the Symmetry Guides look different than regular guides. Closes #133.
Two special guides - one horizontal and one vertical - that let you change the axis of symmetry for mirroring. On the next commit(s) I will make them visible only if mirroring is toggled on. Almost solves #133
* Refactoring tools
* Remove unused code
* Fixed some inferring errors and added translations
* Attempt to fix some Script Errors found in the CI workflow
* Fix bucket crash.
* Fix static type convert.

The structure of the .pxo files is now consisted of a JSON-structured metadata part, where all the data that can be stored as text are, and a binary part, that contain all the actual image data for each cel and project brush.
This makes it easier for users to understand the .pxo structure, easier to add more changes without having to check versions for backwards compatibility, easier to be opened by third-party apps and it allows us to make an "Export JSON metadata" option, that will export just the metadata in JSON format, without the binary image data.
It's backwards compatible and .pxo files from as far as v0.5 are still supported.
If the current project is empty (only 1 layer and frame, no tags and the image has no content - is invisible) and the user is opening a project, then the opened project will not open a new tab of its own, and will use the currently opened one instead.
A Project class contains project-specific data like name, undo_redo, frames, layers, tags and brushes. These variables have been moved from Global. This is the first step towards multiple tab support, where each tab will be a different Project.
The Canvas is now single node, instead of having multiple canvases for each frame. This should also be a performance optimization, since there are less canvas nodes, so there are less _input() calls. It should also fix a rare Undo/Redo issue with motion drawing and making lines. Could be unstable, needs more testing.
As a side effect, the guides are now the same for all frames, so this should also close #246.
* Refactoring image_menu_id_pressed method in Main.gd (#243)
* Refactoring image_menu_id_pressed method in Main.gd
I've moved the code from each "match" case into a seperate method to make it more readable.

* Refactoring Main.gd. Mostly cutting big methods into smaller ones. (#244)
* Refactoring Main.gd. Mostly cutting big methods into smaller one.
- Reduced size of _ready method in Main.gd
- Moved code from certain parts of old _ready method into seperate methods
- Fixed the translation bug related to CurrentFrame node in TopMenuContainer scene. The CurrentFrame node wasn't updating the language when I was changing language. I've also changed the translation file for this.
- Fixed Global.palette_option_button.selected related warning. Because of some unknown reasons, git didn't push completed line there.
- Moved code from file_menu_id_pressed and view_menu_id_pressed method in Main.gd to separate methods to make it more readable.
* Removed window_title changes from Main.tscn

* Fixed TextureRect images of the circle brushes in BrushesPopup
They all had the pixel brush image in their TextureRect
* Split code from PreferencesDialog.gd to HandleLanguages.gd
Also moved PreferencesDialog script & scene to src/Preferences. More Preferences code splitting will follow.
* Split theme related code from PreferencesDialog into HandleThemes.gd
* Moved shortcuts code from PreferencesDialog
* Created DrawingAlgos.gd and moved a lot of drawing code there
Moved code from Global.gd and Canvas.gd to DrawingAlgos.gd. Will also move the fill_gaps and draw_brush methods of Canvas.gd next. Maybe even refactor the inside of them a bit to make them easier to read.
* Connected "files_dropped" signal to a method
This lets the user drag and drop files into Pixelorama, while it runs, to open them. This doesn't work properly and will crash when it can't open the files. It will get merged into master soon.
* Renamed handle_running_pixelorama_with_arguments() to handle_loading_files()
handle_loading_files() is also used for _on_files_dropped()
* Moved draw_brush() and fill_gaps() from Canvas.gd to DrawingAlgos.gd
draw_brush() is currently very ugly and probably needs inside refactoring
* Removed coord clamping from fill_gaps()
This should make line making behave as expected when the mouse is outside of canvas boundaries
* Drawing is no longer limited by the canvas boundaries
his means that, if you have a brush largen than 1px, you can draw on the edges of the canvas. All pixels that are being drawn outside of the canvas will still have no effect.
* Use enums instead of strings for tools
This could be a slight increase in performance
* Fixed line making with Shift and don't let color picker pick colors outside of canvas
* Changed Global node variables to arrays for left/right
Instead of having 2 variables for left & right nodes, use an array instead. This will help with better looking code, automation and less repetitive code, as seen in ToolButtons.gd. Move related refactoring will follow.
* More Global left/right variables became Arrays
Global.update_left_custom_brush() and its right counterpart have also now become Global.update_custom_brush(mouse_button : int)
* Use Global.Mouse_Button instead of strings for comparison
This should be a slight increase in performance
* Refactoring perferences dialog (#251)
* Added ItemList to themes
* Language and theme checkboxes are now radio buttons
* Even more Global left/right variables became arrays
ColorAndToolOptions has now the same code for left and right tool options, with more similar refactoring coming soon to places like Canvas and DrawingAlgos
* Refactored Canvas.gd
* Refactored DrawingAlgos.draw_brush(), made draw_pixel() method
This also fixes alpha blending and lighting/darkening issues when drawing pixels with mirroring.
* Remove draw_pixel(), use draw_pixel_blended() instead
* Ignore warnings
I don't know what else to do about them, they seem trivial anyway
* Use enum instead of strings for Global.theme_type
Another potential small performance boost when changing themes.
* Use a new Layer class to handle layer information
This replaces the old Global.layers nested array mess, and makes the code easier to read and to understand.
* Fixed linked cel crash and layer naming
* Created a new Cel class, to handle cel information
Like the Layer class, it is used in place of Canvas.layers nested array mess. It hasn't been tested thoroughly yet, so there may be crashes.
* Fixed issue where if you moved a frame to the start (move left), it was invisible
* Added AnimationTag class
Replaces nested Global.animation_tags arrays. Also replaced array.duplicate(true) with looping through the array and creating a new class for each array element, because duplicate(true) does not create new classes, unfortunately, which was causing issues with undo/redo.
