savegames should include map name or stage name

this could be part of the meta data so that it can be displayed as part of the tooltip which now only displays the time the game was saved

No.
It would be useless and would probably break savegame compatibility.

Every time I save a game, I type the map in the name. (That is unless it is staged game for a bug report, in which case I name it after the issue I'm reporting.)

I think when the user clicks in an empty save game cell on that table, that the naming should be pre-populated similar to how the Unit Designer Screen works when you design a new unit. I would suggest the following:

T3-Some Map Name-hh.mm.ss

So you get the Tier level, the map name, and the elapsed time of the game as the default name, which the user could then edit.
My game handle is Cosmic Raven or Cosmic Raven 68

If it isn't too hard to code, anyways.

Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.
