In the editor map options is a button 'Set Origin'. The tooltip says, it is used to "mark" position 0,0 for creating a minimap. I think this is related only for uploading a map? Is there a chance to get a look at this minimap prior uploading? It is not very clear, how this function works:
If you know the answer, it would be great you would complete the chapter https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/EditorHelpMainMenu/#map_options

Done. You have to click on the very point on the map. I do not think that you can see the minimap before uploading (besides from moving your view to the center of the map). "Only few people know how much one has to know in order to know how little one knows." - Werner Heisenberg

I understand that "Set Origin" means something else, but for map creators better option would be "Set center" It should be quite simple to improve in editor: Instead new_origin(x,y) would be new_origin(x-dx/2,y-dy/2) where dx and dy are dimensions of map einstein13

It would be neat if minimap preview could be used for this somehow.

What do you mean by that? What does new_origin do? "Only few people know how much one has to know in order to know how little one knows." - Werner Heisenberg

new_origin() is a function or method (I don't know how it is solved in Widelands) that set origin to the new place. You can run the function/whatever in the editor, when you press button "set origin" and click somewhere on the map. It is possible that my idea how it works is completely wrong- I don't know. But If it works like this, it can be easy changed. einstein13
