Remember to rename workspaces! (aka: This One Trick protects your ships!)

Looks like I erased my lovely attempt at a Saturn V clone by forgetting this simple trick:

My Kerbal X clone is OK but my Saturn V clone was lost, Don't make my mistake.

The workspace system is a bit of a mess in general right now. Autosaves generate a new workspace every time, and it's very easy to accidentally delete a workspace you actually want while clearing out the clutter. There's no "Save" vs "Save As" so you have an opportunity to accidentally overwrite another workspace every time you safety-save. There isn't a way to merge individual vessels to a new workspace; you can only merge whole workspaces. Etc.

The save game UI, workspaces, and craft names are an absolute train wreck right now... that is further confused by an autosave "feature" that cannot be turned OFF.

They had come so far with the directory system in KSP1... took them forever to get there too.  Sad to see it just thrown out the window like this.  

Simple directory view with text, folders, and filenames = GOOD

Giant icon screen captures of the VAB work in process, with confusing cross references to craft/workspace and unwanted new versions being auto-added to the mess = BAD

...but I get it, someone probably spent months pondering how to make what was finally good even better.  So can't possibly purge it with fire now as it so deserves.
