springel -> Screenshot names (12/24/2020 2:25:12 PM)

The automatic screenshots at the start and end of every turn in the 'screenshots' folder have a strange name:
I have 'Random Generator_map 0_turn2_round1_a.jpg', with the round# increasing every round.

And I have an older set like 'Random Generator_map 0_turn4_round37_b', but the 'turn2' series is shared by two games, so they overwrite each other.

I think it would be much more useful if every game had its own prefix, so a nice recording of your history would be maintained.

I don't understand the 'turn' prefix anyway, and the 'Random Generator' part. I suspect a sophisticated naming scheme was planned, but it sort of got forgotten.

I don't have anything in my screenshot folder is this a feature you turn on in the settings or something?

Yes, in the 'Game' tab. It is off by default.

It produces a nice 'movie' of your empire, if you remember to use the same display options every time you End Turn (no unit selected in movement mode, always display units - or not, always the same or no Logistics view, always the same colours on/off).

This is what you get when you mount all the automatic screenshots in a movie (used MakeAvi, free open source, select all jpg's, go, wait a while, ready)
