[INTERFACE] Ability to save games to subfolders

[TheDukeOfRockford]

As the titles say, if I were to create subfolders in Capitalism Lab's save folder before starting the game up, whenever I opened the save game dialog, it should at least allow me to go to a subfolder and save games there instead of the root folder for savegames.

This idea stemmed from my experience in playing Paradox Interactive games, specifically Europa Universalis IV. I would frequently created folders under their default save game folder, usually named after each patches, and then a further subfolder identified with name of a country I was playing and a number at the end. Here is what it looked like in my EU4 case:

C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\save games\v1.18\England001\

This is how I organized my savegames and I would love to be able to do it in a similar way with Capitalism Lab. Ideally it would look like this for my CapLab games:

C:\Users\Owner\Documents\My Games\Capitalism Lab\SAVE\Rockford_Corporation\Game001\ or something like that

Currently, I cannot save games to a subfolder even if I want to. I've already made a test folder and found that it is not possible.

This particular feature would be greatly appreciated and would also help to reduce a need to scroll through save games list which, frankly, is already long at it is.

Please rate this with a feedback in poll. I took an inspiration for this poll from Paradox Interactive forum where you can actually rate any posts as Agreed, Respectfully Disagreed, or Helpful.

If we do anything with save games it should be allowing the saving to a cloud service (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox), in my opinion.

I have no problem with this suggestion. However, I don't know if how feasible this would be in Capitalism Lab which seem to be an expanded game with a base on Capitalism II which was originally released in 2001. It is quite well possible, though, that the dev team may surprise us.

I thought it's relative easy to setup synchronize folder with dropbox. I've already done that for years. But it's due to I have more than one computer, otherwise for a single player game, the necessity for save-to-cloud is quite low.

Sub folders (especially automatically with different versions) will be very nice though, several times when I updated to new versions and forgot to backup, the early saves with lower numbers were overwritten due to saves started from the beginning again.
