VAB save button appearance / feedback

[Ror]

After naming my ship and clicking save, I was expecting to see a window open similar to the load button - or even just a confirmation message somewhere e.g. "[ship name] successfully saved"

When I first saw the save button, the dark grey colour appeared to suggest it was inactive. It's a pretty similar colour to the background grey bar along the top. Maybe a brighter colour or lighter shade of grey would make it appear "active"?

I admit I was foolish for not checking to see if I could load the ship to check if it actually worked, but I just assumed I was unable to save and I went to search the internet for solutions to a problem I didn't even have. Other people had already asked why they couldn't use the save button, so maybe a small confirmation or a different colour might be helpful to some people?

Isn't the button greyed out when you don't have any parts selected, and becomes clickable when you do?

Or do you mean something else?

I think he means that there's no feedback when a craft gets saved successfully. It should give some, and it should confirm before exiting the VAB or loading a ship when you've got unsaved work.

Oh and welcome to the forums, Ror.

Right offcourse.

I agree that there should be some kind of confirmation. Atleast when you try to save a name that already exists. At the moment it's extremely easy to overwrite saved craft if you fill in the same name as an existing craft

Ror your right,

and thats so obvious that it could be considered as a bug

Bug = unintentional mistake or flaw in the code that produces unintended results.

This is a design flaw, since it's still working as intended, as far as we know.

Yeah that's what I mean Red Iron Crown

And thank you!
