Organizing save files

Between all my career, sandbox, challenge, and downloaded park saves, I have so many parks saved I am starting to struggle finding certain ones. It would be great if I could create my own folders, and name them to place my saves into specific personalized groups or categories. Sometimes I have multiple saves of the same park that I would like to keep together but not mixed in with all the rest, and then there's obviously all my auto-saves.

I know we have the tabs for career, sandbox, challenge, and also downloads already, but thats only in the main menu and does not show that way when I am loading from within the game. Once I have loaded a park, I do not want to go back to the main menu just for the tabs to show up, so I am forced to scroll through an ever growing list of 100+ saves that is going to grow larger and larger. This always annoyed me in RCT3 especially considering how the original RCT1/2 allowed us to make our own folders, but at least RCT3 separated each scenario.

A few other people have requested this for blueprints, but those could get a custom tag added for when we want to modify the tags of a blueprint we downloaded. But park saves can't be tagged and searched for in-game, so folders are more important for loading saves IMO.

It also might be nice to allow us to set how often our Auto-Saves occur?

Thanks!

from what I can tell, saves are in the windows "saved games" folder which is profile specific. yeah you can move this to a place where other people can utilize it as well but not out of the box.
so other users on your computer should not be able to access your save files unless you modified the location ^^

Its not so much that Im worried others will mess with my saves, I just dont like seeing a list of 50-100 saves without being able to organize them like by park or by player or however i want. It was sort of annoying in RCT3 when I had a lot of saves to search through.

If I understand you Creaper, you don't care where they are saved on the actual computer. You are wanting a good organization system in the menu of the game.

I like that.

Actually, where the files are saved is also kind of important. It should be easier to locate IMO, maybe give us a shortcut for the folder instead of requiring me to make one.

I agree with this idea also. I find that I have saved parks based on a main theme or ride I've saved while trying the various aspects of Alpha One, and ended up with several park names that make no sense to me now! [confused]
I would love to make folders in the Parks Pull-Down menu, or something similar (If it's not a big programming nightmare).

Also need to be able to create longer park names (for the saved game) Currently it seems to cut you off at an arbitrarily small number of chars.
