Program Description

Tomb Raider 1 and 2 only allow saving 16 savegames, and there is no easy way of deleting, copying, or moving them. Savegame Manager does all of this and more. It allows storage of 5 sets of 16 savegames, for 80 savegames all together. Games can easily be managed between sets or rearranged in a set. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. Simply click the Run Game button and Tomb Raider 1 or 2 will run with the current set of games ready to be used.

Another feature is integration with TombEdit. If you have TombEdit 2.2.2, it can be easily integrated with SGM. Double click a savegame in SGM and it's opened in TombEdit. Make any changes you want, then save your game and you will be returned to SGM.

Release Notes

There are, of course, still some bugs in SGM. Here are some that I have found and haven't been able to fix:

Clicking the list of games with the left mouse button:
Problem: This will clear the selection when trying to drag the games.
Solution: Use the right mouse button instead.

Pressing Ctrl while dragging game(s) to copy instead of move:
Problem: The status bar and mouse icon won't change right away, and the games will still be moved
Solution: Move the mouse just a little for it to know you pressed Ctrl.

If you happen to find any other bugs, please send them to me at sgm@tomb-raider.com
