`app.useTool{tool='move}` has no effect on position of `Cel.image`

Aseprite version: v1.3.14.4

I have been trying to simulate a dragging motion and have encountered what I suspect is a bug. Using the 'move' tool through the API app.useTool does not seem to have any effect.

I would expect there to be Cel Movement when running the following script:

app.useTool{
	tool = 'move',   
	points = {Point(0,0), Point( 10, 0)},
	button = MouseButton.LEFT,
	layer = app.layer,
	frame = app.frame,
	cel = app.cel,
}

But instead, nothing happens. The Undo History does show a Move Tool change, but there is no visible movement.

The same seems to happen when using the 'hand' tool instead, there is no canvas movement.

Hi @Arecher, not sure if we're going to add support for the Move tool in a near future, but probably for scripts, it a lot easier to do something like:

app.cel.position = Point(app.cel.position.x+10, app.cel.position.y)

That makes sense! I was using app.useTool{} in an attempt to find a workaround for something, and only used the move/hand tools to test whether I could get my code to work with the tools that require the least parameters. So I was surprised to see that they didn't work, and only really reported it in case it was a regression of some sort!
I agree there are very few use-cases for those tools in scripts (unless there are special, conditional scenarios where the tools behave differently, like the Marquee Tools which move/resize/rotate selections depending on where on the canvas they are used)
