I think it would be nice to have some way to mass-delete save files from older versions, or maybe some way to select multiple save files to be deleted at a time.
having to delete each one and then confirm each delete is time consuming, and unless you play on perma-death you end up with tons of save files... at least i know i have
You can just navigate to the save game folder and delete the saves en masse that way. (as that's what most people would do if they wanted to delete a lot of saves).
Thanks.
that'll work, but is clumsy.
seems it would be a rather easy feature to implement, but i don't know much about making games
I don't think it's the most difficult thing in the world to implement, but then it's not trivial either. And one of the reasons very few games (I cant think of any OTTOMH) offer a full range of file management options is because the O/S does it so much better, as one of it's primary functions is file management after all.
So there's little to no reward, incentive, reason, or purpose for devs to program a file management feature into a game when at best it will just be a copy of what the O/S does. Plus deleting files via the O/S means the saves end up in the recycle bin rather than an instant trip to oblivion, which is useful in case of any mis-clicking or accidental deletions.
