I have been noticing a few posts on the new conformation message that pops up when you save and am now wondering what you guys think of it.
((Please keep in mind that this has to do with the new beta version, not the current version available on the market))

Re: [Beta] Saving conformation message
I prefer the way it was in 0.6.11. As long as it prompts you before overwriting a game file from another game (attempting to save 'B' over 'A'), which it currently does in 0.6.11. The change made in 0.6.12 is quite annoying.

Re: [Beta] Saving conformation message
Can someone explain the issue? For me it just asks you if you are sure you want to save and I have to click OK or Cancel. I don't see how you could overwrite your game accidentally, it asks you to confirm your choice of save slot every time.
I am also don't find the pop up annoying but I only save when I am finished playing and don't do any of the "save strategies". I could see the people that use those types of strategies being annoyed by having to confirm their action every time but to me the safety factor outweighs the annoyance.
I guess going back to just checking for different usernames is fine but what about those people that play with the same name for multiple characters? Or saving the same character in multiple spots, this just gives some extra protection against accidental taps or tapping the wrong save slot.

Re: [Beta] Saving conformation message
I think it is just a classic case of the user is used to it being xxx way and now its changed. Plus I think they might be getting it confused with the warning message that was introduced in 0.6.11 when you attempt to save game 'A' over game 'B', again its maybe due to the unfamiliar factor.

Re: [Beta] Saving conformation message
Ah thanks, I can see how that could be the case. Hopefully people will get used to it a bit more as they use it. Still we will discuss this save dialog in the meeting so keep the opinions coming.tek wrote:I think it is just a classic case of the user is used to it being xxx way and now its changed.

Re: [Beta] Saving conformation message
The current pop up message:
"overwrite savegame?
This savegame contains a different player name (noob) than your current player name (noob). Are you sure you want to overwrite this savegame? "
((notice the names on the file are exactly the same))
Maybe instead we can change the text a bit,
"overwrite save file?" Yes or No
for saving over a file with the same name and use the one above for when you attempt to save over a file with a different name?
just throwing ideas out there?

Current pop up message is useless. There are no new information, it only forsed me to double "klick". Old one was warning label.....

Re: [Beta] Saving conformation message
Perhaps we should make it an option.
I also dislike the new behavior.
