 qfg2agdi-*.sav since it can't import its own exports. It should only show
 qfg1*-X.sav files as that's what it can import.

 It was implemented like this for a reason, as mentioned in a previous
 post.
 When an AGS game accesses the savedir all the files are expected to be
 prefixed with the gameid (qfg2agdi, unless the user changed it). This is
 to avoid interfering with other games, so you understand that the only way
 to list the qfg1 saves is to add some hack specifically for this game,
 which we'd rather avoid considering that the save can be correctly
 imported placing the save in the gamedir (or changing the prefix as
 explained).

 It's true that it clashes with files exported by this game but I don't
 think that's much of a problem... the game tells you when the file is not
 a QfG1 character, and frankly I don't think  there are that many users
 affected by this potential problem (considering that you need to complete
 both games, unless you cheat that is)

 I think that the best idea is to add a informational messagebox when
 opening the import option, like in the SCI engine.
