better autosave names

Post by atd »

In 1.9 you have more than 1 saves (autosave01, autosave02, ...). Isn't it better to give them names like autosave1-01 (season1-week1)? Or the date and time?

i could add season and week. date and time, dunno; i mean, you can see date and time on the last changed stamp of the file (though not in the usual gtk file selection, i've got to admit).

autosave1-01 (season1-week1)
I must admit i generally save in this format. too
The file date time stamp isnt much good to me but the games "time" ie season and week is very usefull. I generally also add what div the team is in. like d2 for division 2 or pl for premier league. But thats mainly only cause i was playing/testing the game by using the same team but with different tactics.

Of course i generally just use the def autosave for week to week and only when im closing the game down for the day do i save in the season week format.

i've reconsidered. the autosave files have to get replaced periodically (e.g. if five are specified in the options, you can have at most 5 autosave files and the oldest one gets overwritten). this isn't possible (at least not easily) if the files have such detailed names. so we'll stick with the current names.

anyway, the autosave feature is meant as a fallback in case you've forgotten to save for 15 weeks and the game crashes. it's not meant as a complete substitute for manually saving.
