How can the RTC functionality be 100% useless if the archives are in the savegame directory!
It works even if you have the archives in the savegame folder.
If you like to archive your savegame and plr files this app removes the need to do it manually, I can't see how that will make things harder for you??
And even if you'd make it manually, how would that differ from doing it manually today, the ddifference is that the companion downloads for you and unpacks for you.
If you want to move the files manually instead of letting it do it automatic go ahead.
I can't see that it requires that more work than unpacking the filess did in the past????
Well if I have to go and move savegame zips still, it makes using RTC functions pointless, since I still have to do file manipulations... I don't care about the plr files, just the savegame zip files, unchanged as downloaded from PBW. Will this backup feature move the zip file, or just the savegame + plr? Also, I do not want _any_ zip files in my savegame folders. Ever. Not even the most recent turn...
