Senteria: Great utility. Just used it to get rid of 2,8 gigabytes of savegames!
What the...

ilmara: Hello,

I heard some of you complain about the size the savegame directory grew to during the course of the game. I've created a small utility which will allow you to scan, preview and delete or backup a set of savegame to free up some space on your computer.

New version 0.6 :
* Display progress for savegame backup
* List of savegame is sortable by name, size or date
* Set options :
- Disable confirmation
- Autodetect or manually set savegame directory
- Backup only savegame but do not delete them (useful to exchange savegame
with your friends)
- Set the default backup directory to easily backup savegames

Preview :

I'm not sure if the game directory name is localized or not. If this utility cannot find your save directory, please let me know so I can fix it.

Also let me know if you encounter any bug (it should ask for confirmation before any deletion) or if you need more features. I might be able to free up some time tomorrow to work on it a bit more. Contact information are included in the archive if needed.
I found a bug, just to let you know. In the utility when I try to sort the save files by Date (clicking the Date tab) it actually is sorting by size, and the Size tab actually sorts by date. Those two just are reversed.

Other than that this looks great. Thanks!

Bumping because this is awesome. I just cleaned up over half a gig of saves.

Everybody should be made aware of this!!

Damn it wish I had seen this earlier. Just cleared out 1.5 gb of saves after finishing my first run through (only kept the final autosave) I really wanted to sort out the critical saves but when I saw how many actual saves I had I thought sod that. Looks like it would have been somewhat easier with this tool.

Ah well at least I have it now so will be well armed for my future runs. Thank you for taking the time to make this available to everyone, much appreciated.

You can also enable Windows file & folder compression on the save directory. I enabled compression and it reduced the size of the directory by 60%

I haven't been able to reproduce this, are you using the regular US regional settings?

I would assume so. The game regional settings or the manager's settings? The manager I can't see where to set those parameters, and in the game I'm pretty sure it is US regional settings (though again, I don't know where to specifically check this. It came with all of the english speech and subtitles, and is American english not British english).

Awesome! Added to the TW1 mod thread (it's already in the TW2 thread).

It also looks this way to me. Still, thanks for a useful little tool.

Thank you for this. I still have a very hard time believing how badly CPR has messed up with this game in terms of simple things such as UI etc. To think that they'd still mess up after going through the whole process with W1.

amazing tool!! big thanks. this is heavily needed.

CDPR should have given us a delete option in the game's menu.

Ooh, this looks very useful, especially for someone who saves obsessively, like me. :-) Thanks loads for making it!
Posted May 22, 2011
thanks, what I find most useful is the small preview next to the save. It helps me recognize what save Im looking at better than the name alone.

BTW , what did you use to code this, and in case is c++ could I take a look at the source?

thank you.

It's coded in Delphi. There is a link in the first post to download the source if you want to tweak it.
