This is one of those little things that you don't realize is missing until someone points it out, and then you can't live without it.
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.

or you don't know it's missing until you try to use it, and find there is no such feature.

Of all the save change suggestions, I think this one would be best.

Also a +1 from me.
I think to generate an unique ID with gamestart to separate different games with the same seed could be used to generate the folders.

I don't think that'd be needed, per-se. Generating a new map could just set a flag true. Then on save, it uses this flag state to understand this is the first ever save for this new game and generates a folder for it automatically and clears the flag. Or, if there's already something for it to know which auto-save count it's currently on (vs checking for the oldest autosave file), it could use the state of this to accomplish the same thing.

Re: Organize saves into folders by game/world
Your idea is also a good solution.
