An addon for Kerbal Space Program designed to improve the user interface for loading save games.

I was always frustrated with the in-game GUI for loading saved games, as it lists them in alphabetical order making it really hard to find the save you want when there's lots in the list. It also gets really slow to open once you have a lot of saves.

This mod attempts to fix that by:

• Listing the saves by creation time (descending)
• Including thumbnail screenshots

Looks like this:

Available for install via CKAN.

Alternatively, download the latest release and extract the contents of the GameData folder into the GameData folder inside your KSP install.

Note for best screenshot quality, ensure "Texture Quality" is set to "Full Res" in your game options (under "Graphics").

Usage

Settings are available in the stock Settings pages. The following options are available:

In the General column: Replace stock Load Game dialog on F9 This replaces the Load Game dialog, if disabled, then F7 opens the window Don't show the persistent.sfs file
Use alternate skin A more compact skin which a number of mods use

In the Deletion/Archive column: Archive old saves Archive and Delete are exclusive, only one can be active. Delete old saves Both can be disabled to disable this functionality Unit: Hours Hours and Days are mutually exclusive Unit: Days File age in specified units The number of Hours/Days a save has to be to be either archived or deleted

The BLSG window has a number of toggles and buttons: At the top are:

Use Archives    A toggle which has the mod show all the archived saves
Sort            One of three different ways to sort the saves in the list

At the bottom are the following buttons:

Delete      Delete selected save
Archive     Move the selected save into the Archive directory
Cancel      Close the dialog
Load        Load the selected save

Highly recommend also using a mod like Dated Quick Saves or Kerbal Improved Save System to address my other favourite problem in the game of only having one quicksave slot when you press F5.

Currently has basic features including screenshots, summary info, sorting and filtering.

I'm keen to make further improvements to it. If you have any ideas for new features or improvements, or if you find any bugs, please let me know!

In particular I'm not aware of any way to replace the official "Load Game" feature in the game menu, which is why you need to press a key (F7) to open the new dialog. If you have any idea how to fix this, please let me know.
