Then 5000 replays would be 0,2mb * 5000 = 1GB. A PC that is able to run sc2 should have more than enough space so that replay files like that don't matter. Unless you are using a small SSD, but they could make an option to disable it. | ||

Having all the replays saved gets a little bit unwieldy. Phase 1 I had about 700 replays in one folder, and it was impossible to find a certain game i wanted to view. Now, if a replay is noteworthy of saving, I'll save it. I really don't want every game in my replay folder, since so few are actually good enough to warrant a view. The change doesn't bother me at all. | ||

In most games, if you want extra information stored on your computer you have to specify that. This is just preventing the thousands of games people will play from automatically filling up your harddrive. Also consider that 99% of people will only use replays to watch the game once. For tournament games or pro games, they will just have to hit save and name it (so it kinda saves them from renaming it later.) 90% of people wont play thousands of games. 90% of people will play tens-hundreds, which is not an issue. | ||

The more you know! (not sure of the exact time/size ratio ... but close enough) I am not sure what you are talking about. 100 gigabytes worth of 50 kb replays is over 2 million replays. 100 gigabytes / 50 kilobytes Which, judging by your time estimate is just shy of 80 years. 100 gigabytes / 50 kilobytes * 20 minutes | ||

It's just, I don't save every replay, just ones where I don't quite understand the loss, brag-worthy ones (rare), potential hacking, and when I feel I need to just evaluate my play a little more. And usually when those happen, it's either I watch it and save them when they happen, or I'll save them for later almost immediately. I don't like having a huge, hard to read list of replays. | ||

Something like Date/Opponents/Game Length/Match up would be nice. Can't browse the Blizzard forum from Work, did Anyone ever consider that? It'd make long ass names, but at least we'd know a bit better what it is. Besides that, there should definitely be an option to save more than 25 replays... | ||

Average replay size for me seems to be under 50kb, most of my games have lasted under 20 minutes. | ||

 Hopefully when the game comes out, all this folder nonsense will be cleaned up. This game has been changed a crapload since beta first came out... | ||

I don't know if I understand your point. By your description, in both scenarios the replay folder is useless. To derive use from it you would have to manually rename and file replays according to some criteria. Its just that in the old configuration you had the option of seeing every game you ever played and the only downside was a few less megabytes of free space on your drive. I think it's worth it. You should try sc gears. It is targeted towards pro players. Blizzard wouldn't spend so much effort on a product for so little people. The killer feature is an AMP vs time chart. | ||

And while we're at it, I want the replays to be stored in the SC2 folder, not somewhere on my system drive where they don't belong. You can relocate your documents folder to another drive. It's a bit of work but should be worth it. Most of the autosaves of modern commercial programs go into the default folders, so if you move them off your system drive you are seperating all that save data from your system drive at once. I don't know anymore how to do it exactly, you'll have to google it if you're interested. A simple cut and paste won't do. | ||
