Delete and Hide

[unmerged(2997)]

Nothing to do with game play...But in HOI2 could we have another choice.Save Load.....AND Delete game.
Would seem such a simple little thing to add...and avoid the arcane trips to save folders that are required now.
Also could we get full screen easily so that the Side panal hides and reappears on key stroke .Something like how the information panel appears and goes in SFC.

I agree the tiny window usually gets very cluttered with alot of old savegames!

I currently have 948 mbs of Victoria saves.

I like this suggested option.

while it may be useful as a whole, i tend to get in a hurry and delete the wrong game

Another question:

Why is it that the save games are so huge? I know from editing save files how many information is contained in there.

But wouldn't it be possible to automatically compress/zip and decompress save games?

It's just too huge, 10 MB for one saved game???

.............................

While I can understand the size of them, I absolutely can't understand why the screenshots have to be over 2 MB large :wacko:

It's just a screenshot. When I change it to jpeg, I get the same quality for some 30 KB.

HoI really suffocates my tiny 40 GB hard drive.

Paradox games save as bmp's, which are lossless... that's why they are so big.... because they are as you saw it EXACTLY.

Yeah the Screens are BMP's that's your main problem. Do you think they could add a feature In Game to delete the SH also?

I kinda wish you could Delete the saves in game but maybe the fact that they save the config is the problem though?

Just my thoughts.

Go into the folder and delete them? Geez....

Oh GEEZZZ thats a Great idea.......................BUT wouldnt a delete button be easier and cleaner than going scenarios save delete the EUG file and remember the CFG file as well .

Be sensible.

I think deleting the savegames in-game would be nice but VERY low-priority. Just make a shortcut to the savegame folder on the desktop or in the game's start menu folder if it's too much trouble to drill down through the folders to get to it. And remembering to delete the .cfg file shouldn't be difficult when it's normally right next to the .eug (or under depending on how you view folders). Another thing in this area that would be nice is the ability to load a savegame from a sub-folder in the initial scenario selection screen (you can save to and load from a sub-folder in-game already). Then you could easily have a separate folder for each campaign you play.

Yeah low-priority but something that SHOULD have been implemented by now. All of their games have basically the same interface you woudl think it could have been incorperated by now.

But he no hard feelings as must people taht paly their games knwo how to use windows and can find their way around them

Paradox games are not from dummies.

also the subfolder thing would be a nice addition.
