restore saves

[antipro]

hi,

I've recently formatted and now I have the game installed but never launched.
I want to restore my saves, what's the correct procedure?
Do I just put my saved "saves/username" folder into the game folder and start the game?
or is better to start the game first? or do something before to copy?

Heya, KSP looks for save files whenever the load dialogue is opened, so it's fine to copy the saves back either while KSP is running or before, you may want to avoid overwriting your scenarios and training folders though if your backups are from an earlier release.

Hope this helps.

Do I have lost all the ship's image previews?
 

edit: ah! no sorry, I've just seen that I need to load them one by one first to get all the images.

Oh them! I always forget those, they are in the Thumbs folder, and a new one is made when you launch a vessel

Hm, I almost wish that the thumbs where saved in the actual crafts folder, that way they could be more easily shared alongside the craft. Would be cool to see people making custom thumbnails for their works
