Comment (by macca8):
While the subject of this report targets the GUI, I believe the issue is
restricted to the CINE engine.
The issue regarding the invalid _saveType calculation is resolved by
[https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/4393 PR4393], which includes
reinstating the setAutosave(true) call that was previously removed from
the CINE engine. This properly identifies the dummy autosave as an
autosave, which resolves this issue.
However, I don't believe that the dummy autosave should have been tested
in the first place, since there's no saved game file attached to the
entry. Currently, the CINE engine creates the dummy autosave in both its
listSaves() & querySaveMetaInfos() methods. Normal practice is to include
it only in the listSaves() method.
IMHO, the correct procedure is to remove the dummy autosave call from its
querySaveMetaInfos() method, but someone familiar with the CINE engine
needs to confirm that this call hasn't been placed here for some other
obscure reason.
