Patches against 2.2 and trunk. Trunk already shows the scenarios we want to see, so the patch is smaller.

We show an information field below the description with the filename (basename) of the scenario, so you can distinguish like-named scenarios (With the expectation that it will occur). Showing the full path would be very ugly and use a lot of space.

(file #8713, file #8714)

Trunk is much better, or at least it seems to list all scenarios in working directory and most importantly in the .freeciv/scenarios directory.

Trunk must be opening all files to read the scenario titles, (and it takes a long time if you have a lot of savegames in the working directory, but that's not the common case).

However

• There is no obvious ordering
• We still list savegames that are not scenarios
• There are many scenarios with duplicate names, or even empty names (blank lines in the list). This ought to be common if you are editing scenarios in different versions.

I think the filename should be visible somehow, and used as fallback if the name is empty. It would be really nice if like-named scenarios were automatically disambiguated by filename.

It would be nice if a 2.2 bugfix could align a bit more with trunk, with some of these above concerns addressed as well.

Is it too risky to use a heuristic and try to detect autosave savefiles by filename only? That way we don't need to decompress & read all autosaves that we find. Again, this might not be an issue for the common user.

"Start Scenario Game" screen in the Gtk+ client does not include scenarios from ~/.freeciv/scenarios

1. Most notably, scenarios saved with Save Scenario.. from the editor are not listed in "Start Scenario Game"

2. The server command '/list scenarios' produces a different list, I don't think it lists scenarios from ~/.freeciv/scenarios either! It includes lots of savegames from ~/ though.
