Search bar in "Load game" window

Post by Yenz »

TL;DR
I want a search bar in the "Load game" window to be able to filter & find savegames quickly.

What ?
This is the window in its current state:
load game.png
load game.png (1.1 MiB) Viewed 1051 times

This is a search button (also CTRL-F'able) from the settings->controls dialog:
search.png
search.png (17.79 KiB) Viewed 1051 times
Combine those two together and put them above the file list:
load game search.png
load game search.png (1.05 MiB) Viewed 1051 times
Why ?
Having 250+ savegames it sometimes is quite hard to find the one you're looking for. As I play different saves with different people I quite often change the "current one" (so the green continue button on the main menu doesn't help).
And since we have at most places already a search bar... why not here as well?
