#1307 Keep x autosave files

[Pavel Jelínek]

The value "Keep x autosave files" is set to 10, but I can see much more autosave files from the current game.
Perhaps it may be caused by the fact that I saved the game, quit the application and loaded it later, but it is still a bug, isn t it?

I use 0.8.0.

Yes, FreeCol stops counting if you quit.

Is this bug still alive?

Additional info is required to verify whether this bug still exists in present builds.

There is no "Keep x autosave files" anymore. Instead there is "Delete after x days", which seems to work.
However, the "Delete after x days" also deletes the "last-turn" save, which is (I think) not intentional. --> I'll look into this.
Also, there appears to be no "before-last-turn" on my machine so I'll get that fixed. I am assuming it's just the turn before "last-turn".

Agreed that this is probably not intentional.

There is code that refers to the before-last-save file in the client InGameController.autosave(). However I do not see any evidence that it works either.

Any help on this very old bug would be appreciated. No one has worked on it for a long time due to an old discussion on freecol-developers where we concluded that there were several bugs (including this one) that could wait until we improved the file chooser... which has never happened. It is probably time to just fix the main issues and move on.
