Associate save states with filename of disk image

I don't know if I'm doing it all wrong and that this function is already implemented, but quicksave/load states are not saved to a separate file depending on which disk image is currently loaded.

E.g. I play Superfrog and quick save when I'm tired of it, then I want to play some Turrican 2 and quick save after playing for a while. This will overwrite my Superfrog quicksave (unless saving in another quicksave slot) as every quick save is saved to the same file (at least on my setup).

I'm using the same WinUAE config file for most OCS/ECS games and thus using the same quicksave file for all OCS/ECS games.

It would've been much neater if pressing quicksave would save to <disk image filename><slot>.uss. E.g: when I play Superfrog and press the quicksave key, my current state will be saved to Superfrog (1993)(Team 17)(Disk 1 of 4)[cr CSL]1.uss (example).

It works as designed. Reason is simple: quick restore must work without need to ask for name.

Name is "default" until at least one statefile is saved manually.

Ah, so if I save one statefile manually, then the next quick saves will use that filename?

Thanks for sorting it out for me.
