[Bug 355086] Re: Wesnoth save game file format in jaunty is incompatible (1.4 -> 1.6) and saves just vanish

[Gerv]

I agree with Rhonda - changing the directory name seems very
shortsighted. a) What happens when we get to Wesnoth 1.8? b) Is it
really impossible to create saved game files so that they have
versioning info, and the game can say "sorry, we can't open that file
now"? It seems to be it does this anyway - so why on earth change the
directory so that code becomes useless?

Rhonda: I realise you have already spent time on this, but might it be
worth checking with upstream to see if it would be OK to switch the data
directory back? Then people would get a sensible error message instead
of just thinking all their games had vanished.

Also, while I'm here, if there's any way of changing the packaging so a
small update to the main game doesn't require re-downloading all the
music, that would be very cool too :-)
