Load Game should show when the game was saved.

When saving a game, I often have problems naming the game so I remember which game to resume later. I find it much easier to remember by time, however.

I suggest that the time of the save should be presented at loading.

I'm attaching a simple patch, that does this using tooltips. In the long run I think it should be done using a custom renderer, rendering the saves in a plain list with two columns, one for names and one for savetime.

Proposed Patch

The patch seems nice, though I haven't tried it yet. We might also want to sort saves by date, or save the slot number, so every game appears where it was saved.

I don't think any of our devs intend to make more extensive GUI changes before betawidget. If you want to write such a patch, you also need to implement some paging, so the number of saveslots isn't decreased. And if you want to get fancy, add screenshot thumbnails :)
