[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#14633) FREECIV_PATH and savegame loading

["Christian Knoke" <chrisk@xxxxxxxxx>]

<URL: http://bugs.freeciv.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14633 >


SVN HEAD 19 NOV 2005 GTK2

If FREECIV_PATH is set, savegames are still saved in $HOME/.freeciv/saves,
but expected to load from somewhere else ($HOME?).

Worse, trying to load them with the file selection dialog fails, because it
is not possible to select dir ".freeciv" from there, neither by mouse click
nor by textual input.

BTW I think saving save games in a (sub dir of a) hidden directory is not so
good, because it can grow big and because some linux users won't find it.
I'd prefer "freecivgames" or something else instead.
