I guess compressed they take up a pretty much trivial amount of space and it's probably not worth really studying it then. I wouldn't be surprised if you could hold all the saves ever made by everyone on a flash drive if you stripped out the pictures. If you run a beta that will also let you establish a pretty good baseline as to how people will use the service anyway, and you'd be free to adjust the cap then without bothering people much. Storing only unique saves is a really cool idea. |

A lot of people share and save popular builds so this enables me to make people's quotas only count towards unique save files, while also making sure I'm not wasting space storing the same file hundreds of times. There's a lot of logistics to work out there but those are my intentions at the moment. --- End quote --- You could possibly create a way to determine the difference between two save files and output data on all the additions, subtractions, and edits. This would cut down on minor changes in stored saves if all you store is the original save the person loaded and the data of the changes they made, and you could even throw in a Wikipedia-style version history for save files, which could have several uses besides being a nice novelty. |

I like the idea of saves management. But could it be done with Private sharing too? |

Registered an RTB pref as an int ranging from 5 to 100. Upon trying to set it to 20, pressing the 2 causes it to put in a 5 because 2 is below the minimum value. |
