Names of savegames

[Inferis]

One thing for this game: get the names for the savegames right.
The EU/EU2 system is screwed up because it causes the files to sort achronically.

Something like:
Belgium_1840_04.svg
would suit better than
Belgium_April_1840.svg

Or, perhaps, give an option to choose between the two.

Another request: autosaving to different files.
Which means, instead of having one autosave.svg file, you'd have autosave_Belgium_1840_04.svg. Or something alike.

And maybe again, a configuration option to choose between the two. It's not that hard to code this stuff in, Johan.

I know that this will fill my hard drive rather quickly, but with the enormous HDs nowadays, that's hardly a problem. And if you can configure "simple" vs "complex" autosaving, then those with little space left can use the old option.

Both good ideas. I never use the default savegame names because of the sorting issue. I use country_yyyymmdd. Also would be nice if the savegame list was sorted in-game.

Yes, an excellent suggestion. I too have to manually type in my savegame names in order to be able to find them later.

I would like to see an date and time of the save game file.

id also like to see a description of the savegame before selecting it, like date, maybe a screenshot of the map at the time, wars your country is in, treasury, etc... really useful to find your way about the savegmaes if like me you often save on the same file so the date doesnt match
