Known issues:

- Eyedropper does not change Brush tool selected texture
- Selecting texture after using eyedropper changes S20 Tool to Asset Placement Tool

- MPS is currently unsupported for this build

- Mac: Update will cause the local data folder location to be reset: Work around, after the update, reassign the local data folder assigned to the build.
