    If I save a previously created copy back into /lib/usr/save it is ignored. And when I accidentally moved the entire save folder with mv I was still able to start and continue the game. How can that be?

      OK. Have you looked in ~/.angband/Angband/save/ ?

        Thank you for your support!

        First a correction: There was a typo in my last posting; the folder should be called lib/user/save.

        The current save file is also not in ~/.angband/Angband/save/.
        I couldn't find anything with find -name either. Is it possible that the save files are named differently in the current version of Angband?
        I don't think it's anything special in a roguelike game that there is no "personal" save file. The seemingly unnecessary lib/user/save folder irritates me.
        Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

          Maybe try locate instead of find.

          locate <capitalized username> | grep save

          For example, my username is eddie but the current 4.2.5 savefile is Eddie. In the old days, it was 1000.Eddie.
