#12957: STARK: Error when trying to move save out of first save slot when creating
autosave
--------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter:  Thunderforge         |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect               |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal               |  Component:  Engine: Stark
 Version:                       |   Keywords:  autosave
    Game:  The Longest Journey  |
--------------------------------+---------------------------
 If a savegame is in the first save slot (say, for the Prologue), when an
 autosave will be created, the following message appears:

 > WARNING: The autosave slot has a saved game named Prologue. You can
 either move the existing save to a new slot, Overwrite the existing save,
 or cancel autosave (will not prompt again until restart)

 There are three buttons: "Move", "Overwrite", and "Cancel autosave".
 Whenever I click "Move", I get the following error:

 > ERROR: Could not copy the savegame to a new slot

 To make matters worse, ''nothing'' appears in `scummvm.log` regarding this
 interaction.

 == Reproduction

 1. Start The Longest Journey
 1. Either start a new game or load a save game
 1. Create a save in the first slot (i.e. the one in the top-left)
 1. Wait until the dialog pops up. It seems some actions postpone an
 autosave, like being in conversation. Reading April's diary seems to be an
 action that does not block it.

 I would like to see a solution that

 1. Does not cause an error when clicking the "Move" button
 1. Provides logs for this warning and the errors

 == Versions

 * ScummVM: Windows x64 Daily 2021-09-22
