Yep, would be nice if the tile object tool would allow showing a preview as well.

Hi, if you explain to me what the problem is exactly - i'd like to have a go at fixing this one.

@KillaW0lf04 When you are placing tiles on a tile layer, the all tools (stamp brush, fill tool, eraser) show a preview of the affected area before you actually perform the operation. In contrast, the object creation tools don't do this, but it would be useful for the tile object tool to do this as well. It could then also place the objects on press rather than waiting for a release, since the user will have already decided exactly where to place it beforehand.

This issue came up on the forum just now. I've decided to put this on the roadmap for Tiled 1.2.

After simplifying memory management (bde9c3a) and the set of virtual functions (7ff97ea) I've finally done a shot at implementing this functionality (3b8ba96).

Will be available in the next snapshot, but before I publish that I'd like to perform further testing, since I'm sure there are still some edge-cases I didn't deal with yet (like changing current layer or selected tile while hovering).

Create Object Tools: Fixed various issues
b33e516 
These are mostly issues that became apparent after the tools were
changed to show a preview on hover.

* Remove object preview when current layer changes results in object
  placement not being available (hidden or locked layer).

* Synchronize on changes to object group offset and color.

* Don't create preview for locked layers (even better may be to draw a
  red-colored preview).

* Fixed snapping of initial position for scalable objects.

* Fixed modifiers passed in mouseMoved when tool gets enabled.
