Bug Description

If I play some times with some different maps and want to save my game, there is always the game on top selected. Its the after alphabet sorted (i hope you know what I mean xD) savegame and if I'm careless and klick only "save", it saved over a different savegame and probably map as I would like.
My question: would it be possible to select nothing in the savegame-list or better, the last savegame of my actual map?

Hi Sadchant and welcome to Launchpad!

Yes, the first savegame in the list seem to always be selected for some reason. It would probably make more sense to treat it as a new entry or default to the most recent savegame. The latter might be dangerous in case users end up overwriting the 20 hour + epic game because they didn't double-check the save slot first.

I'd say this is partly a duplicate of bug 706284 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands/+bug/706284).

At least I'd prefer a list of filenames in alphabetical order and not sorted by saving time. This makes it easier to find a certain filename.

Or another column with save date is added to the list. And a click on the column title sorts the list by name or date, ascending or descending.
