Loading game with --load-savegame may not detect the original character profile

• Is the problem OpenMW specific or does it also happen in vanilla Morrowind?
  • never used vanilla
• What is your operating system?
  • arch linux
• What version of OpenMW are you using? If you used a bleeding edge build, state the exact revision used.
  • 0.50
• What version of Morrowind are you using (i.e. retail CD or Steam)? What addons (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) do you have installed? What language is your Morrowind install?
  • GOG with all dlc. English
• Do you use any mods? If so, does the problem also occur in a clean vanilla install without any mods?
  • many mods but don't think this is mod related
• What are the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
  • openmw --load-savegame /home/ml/.config/openmw/saves/charname/latestsave.omwsave
  • in game when saving earlier saves are not visible
  • on exit I find a new directory ~/.config/opemw/saves/charname - 1/ with only my latest save in it
  • if I repeat the process the '1' increments.
  • the behaviour is the same with relative file paths regardless of the cwd.
• What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?
  • should save back to the same directory as the launched save

I have written a little resume script to find the most recent save in the config directory save tree and launch it; this removes the convenience utility of it. If there is a good reason that I am not seeing for the current behaviour (ie feature not bug) then fine, it is no big deal.

Thank you all for bringing this great game to linux.
