Saving Templates

chimanbj · 07-28-2006, 09:43 AM

After installing the "final" patch, I find that I cannot save a world template to the same name as before. For instance, if I'm trying to build my own MLB world, it can take a few days, given work requirements and the like. If I try to save the template with the same name as before, I get a message saying:
"Could not save template! File already exists?"

But there's no option to overwrite it...

I save the next iteration as v1, then v2 and so on. Once I'm done I just delete all of the previous "drafts" or WIP's.

The ability to overwrite your old templates was present in the prior patches. This appears to be something that was "fixed" for the final patch.

Yes: #2041 - Templates are no longer overwritten, a warning is given instead

I do think it ought to give the choice to "overwrite anyway?" instead of just rejecting the attempt.

UGH!!! I can't believe I missed that patch (well, yes I can)

It's annoying..not the end of the world, but an option to overwrite would be greatly appreciated...

I put a bug in Markus' ear about this one, we'll see if he can tweak that a bit... TT # 2507
