Ruatha, small feature request: dropdown list with most recenly used games, and maybe an option to automatically enter empire if it's marked as "Exist".

Thanks Ruatha for this great tool (though I prefer to keep track of diplomacy with organiser).
Yes, the savegames are encrypted and I won't be messing with that.
A dropdownlist can be done, the auto select feature I'm not sure what you mean?
All empires in the game exists, some are marked Alive, but in the beginning of the game all empires are alive...??
Ohh, you mean if it already exists a event.txt file, yes, I can do that!
Guess I'll have to make an "options" screen.

I could do a favorite selection list aswell, to quickly enter a particular game and empire.
And perhaps a filter, showing only Messages a special turn or to/from a special player.
And in the multi line message an option to mark if it's from or to a player, and then that info in the ** Message starts ** line.

All ideas are welcome.
But today I'm back at work, I just did this yesterday as I was home and a bit boored.

It works quite well in both single player and multi player games (both seq and sim) right now, from the limited testing I've done.

So, the ver 1.3 will have an "advanced" check box, that will decide if it will show extra features such as Favorites lists etc, or the bare backbone cleanest possible screen, so that the first impression won't be that it's cluttered with features.
It will remember if the checkbox was filled in the Last time you used it.

Still the v1.2 as the current Version:
