Loading a savefile using 'as file'.

I tried the following:

var/savefile/F = input("Blah","Blah") as file

I also tried:

var/savefile/F = file(input("Blah","Blah") as file)


Obviously, neither worked.

How would I allow the user to specify a specific file on the harddrive which would then be turned into a savefile?

Did you try
var/savefile/F = new(input("Blah","Blah") as file)

I don't have BYOND in front of me at the moment to test, but I wonder if that works. Probably depends on whether the savefile's New() takes a file rather than filename as an argument. If not, it probably should (I also noted the same issue for the new zipfile support in the upcoming release).
