Summary: Load game from Launcher

Initial Comment:
The Game Launcher window should have a "Load" 
button in addition to a "Start" button, so the user can 
load a savegame at the same time they select which 
game to play. That way, they don't have to Start the 
game and then go right back into the GUI to load a 
savegame. (Since sometimes the GUI can't be pulled up 
right away, e.g. during the Sam & Max "loading sounds" 
screen, this can get especially tedious.)

So the user's steps would be:

(1) Start ScummVM without any parameters.
(2) Select game to run from the list shown.
(3) Click "Start" to start a new game, OR
(4) Click "Load" to load a savegame.

Something like that....

There are no GUI accessible load dialogs for sky/simon. And the 
one for Scumm is only accesible if there is an instance of a 
Scumm object around already. So currently this is not feasible, 
unless all you have in mind is a text input field where one can 
enter a number.

This is a good idea.  As a workaround for now, you can press
CTRL-1 (or whatever your save game is) which allows you to
load a game when you can't pull up the F5 dialog.  I know
this works for MI2 during the copy protection, not sure
about Sam & Max.
