Suggestion: an option to have game specific save directories

[AERobert]

I like organizing each game I play into different directories to help keep my saves and notes separate. This works pretty well usually, but it is somewhat annoying to have to change the location for where I want my save files/transcript to be placed every time I play a game.

I would personally like a system that, if enabled, would have a data directory for every game, defaulting to the directory of the game file itself, which could be changed through the dialog as the global one appears to be set now. Or even just a option to default to the location of the game file instead of the last used directory would be nice.

Would something like this be possible to implement at some point?

I added a check box to default to the location of the game file when saving. Global settings > Save to game directory.

Thanks for adding this. Would it be possible to allow a specific game session to remember if I change the default during that session? Say, if I changed the location to the /saves directory under the location of the game file, it would remember where I last saved until I closed the game again. So, I guess what I would really like is a way to have it default to the location of the game file the first time saving, and then switch back to the normal behavior after that. It works to just switch on and off the new checkbox when starting to play, but that is still slightly annoying.

Of course. Done in c77dd0b.
