Game-Saver

Game-Saver is a small utility which aims to provide multi-slot saves and auto-saving for games that don't provide it out of the box.

The goal is to enable users to easily save and restore multiple versions of a savegame folder. This tool is designed to extend a game's save logic and not to replace it.

Features:

• Create new saves on-demand.
• Create autosaves when files in the watched folder change.
• Restore saves
• Support for multiple games.
• Rename and delete saves

How to use

• Use CTRL+[h|l|j|k] or CTRL+[left|right|up|down] to navigate the windows.
• a to create a new save for the currently selected game.
• r to rename a selected savefile.
• d to delete a selected savefile.
• ENTER to restore a selected savefile.

Installation guide
