[notabug]saves and autosaves

At some point during my game I save it and call it "test_game". Later on I let Bygfoot do the autosaving but it seems that it saves the game to another file, "autosave??.zip" where ?? is some number (01,02,...) and not to "test_game.zip". Now this doesn't matter if you're playing only one game, you can always use the "Resume game" option from the welcome screen but if you're playing more than one it becomes confusing (can't remember which "autosave" is which.

This is not a bug, it's a feature! No, really, that's how it's supposed to work. The autosave is NOT a convenience feature, but a safety net in case your experience a crash or mis-click or something. In that case, you have a savegame from 3 or 5 weeks ago even when you didn't save manually for half a season.

If you want a better overview you can set the number of autosave files to 100 or so and delete all of them when you reach 100 :-)
