Default Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.

suggestions:
first:
check box "retain old turn zip files "
function saves a copy of each turns zipfile in a subdir of savegame called turns

second:
entrybox "im host maintain turn backups at interval of #
function downloads and saves a copy of each turns host data zipfile in a subdir of savegame called host turns

third:
function to auto scan old turns and auto add all old events to current file in order
(good for starting at turn 48 of a pbw game)

reasons
1st: i like to have backups

2nd: backups are nice for doing turn rollbacks
if needed or going manual if the server goes down etc why pbw doesnt have a function to auto mail each turn to host once all files are uploaded i dont know plus it could eliminate the need of the pbwserver to retain more than 5 turns of zip files

3rd: besides being a good feature for exisating players in long games
it will also be good for a new user who just discovered the program and maybe he got to turn 10 or something before he found the program
