Save file organization

[pandathug]

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but upon loading a game, everyone can see multiple legacy save files that cant be played in the newer versions and it can be confusing to find your save files.

I suggest displaying all save files in the current version and a folder or some way to organize legacy save files as to not clog up the interface with old save files. This would make it more organized and easy to access playable files and hide away unplayable files.

You can create folders for saves yourself outside of the game, and then when ingame they work correctly. There’s just no way to create the folders ingame.

Hi,

There are several suggestions revolving around the way save files are (not)organized, and ways to address them (via better folder management, ability to sort by date/version, ...). Some examples below, feel free to check them and contribute if you feel like it :

Yup, gonna press "play" again, not sorry neither: implementing my suggestion for a startup option to print save file metadata would let people easily write their own automatic save-file organizers.

As of now, save file management/finding specific save files can be a mess, due to all the saves being lumped together in one big list by default.

Adding a way to make folders and move around saves in the save/load dialogs (or even just have a button that opens the save directory) could make organization a lot easier, such as being able to group different saves together for a playthrough, group saves by mod, etc.

Navigating in folders is already fully supported by the game, so it probably wouldn't be too hard to add either.
