I didn't know whether to post this here or in the Features Wish List, but here goes anyway. I tried enabling "Make snapshots every x minutes" and after a couple of days had accumulated a large number of them which I didn't require. I can't seem to find a way to delete them en masse. In Windows 7 Home Premium the Saved Games folder is difficult to access, but at least with saved games I can save them to a folder of my own choice. In SimSig I can't find any way of nominating where to save snapshots. The only way seems to be to start a New simulation, select Load and then select each snapshot in turn and then delete it. This gets a bit tedious after a while. If there isn't an easier way to do it, I'd like to suggest a "Manage Snapshots..." menu option leading to a list window where group selections can be made. Alternatively, a button to "Delete all snapshots for this sim". Last edited: 12/12/2011 at 01:35 by maxand Log in to reply |

snapshots always save to the default position. to get rid of them, you just need to go into the sim folder and enable compatability files to see them. if anything needs to be done with snapshots it should be the title format. ie id rather see a save game in the following format: 12-12-11 0139 which makes it easy for me to find the right one when i search for it! i find the snapshot tool useful sometimes, but it tends to get slightly annoying trying to find the right one.

I think it may have been one of the developer/tester tools that migrated over to the release version. I agree there could be refinements to it such as mentioned. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: maxand |

This gets a bit tedious after a while.The open dialogue should allow you to see where you are, after which you can open that folder normally and delete them all in one go, surely?
