saved games - rename or delete

Post by beaux »

I just registered today and hope to be a beta tester if I can ever get it to load. I am going through the challenges and have a suggestion.
Please add a saved games rename or delete. Put it in options or something. I know you can rename a game when you go to save again but with a lot of the challenges being 2 hours it is common to save 2 or 3 times within the 2 hrs. You end up with more saved games than there are spaces.
Also, I have tried renaming folders in the savegame folder in My Documents and that does not work.
Thanks,
beaux

Ok, no response within a few days. So, is there a way to rename or delete the saved games without changing the current game coding? Thanks for any reply.

You can go to their directory (OS dependent, check in guide) and rename (or delete) their directory and .gam file.
Also it would be nice to have ability to manage them through GUI (especially since their directory is usually a bit hidden).

The betas use "savegames" so if you rename that, you can have more saves without deleting the old ones.
