Current Issue
Our current plugin doesn't support mirror or rotated tiles. The problem is the shortcut key for mirroring a tile is so near it can happen by total accident. This became a huge problem on some big maps we have and trying to find all duplicated tiles on different sections of a map is a nightmare.

What behavior you expected instead
Is there a way to be able to select a single tile and it selects all duplicate tiles in a layer?
Alternatively, is there a way to figure out if a tile is rotated?

Tiled version, operating system, etc. if possibly relevant.

The "Select Same Tile" tool considers flipped tiles to be different from their non-flipped version. It could be extended with an option to ignore flipping flags (as could the bucket fill and magic wand tools).

Alternatively, is there a way to figure out if a tile is rotated?

The only way currently would be to hover the tile, which will since recently shows in the status bar the flipped state of the tile along with its ID. But that doesn't provide a good way of locating rotated tiles.

I think this is again a case where it would be helpful for Tiled to be scriptable (#949). That way you could write a custom script that either strips all the flags or searches those tiles and focuses the map view on them.

@bjorn sorry for asking but I can't seem to find the Select Same Tile tool?
