Vortex is great; but I think the Save Games tab could use a little tweak.

Instead of "Creation Time", it should be "Last Modified".

With Creation Time, frequently overwritten saves (like quicksaves) fall back in the list despite being more recent.

While I'm at it, the option to store all profile settings and the like in a different folder would be a nice addition. Recently lost all of my profiles when I had to reinstall an older version of Windows because I had assumed it'd be stored with downloaded mods, similar to older versions of NMM (iirc). Not that I'm blaming anyone else for that, but it was awfully inconvenient.

Are you sure about that? Quicksaves are technically recreated, then the last one gets automatically deleted i.e. they are not really being overwritten. If you quicksaved seconds ago, that save should appear on the top of your list.

It might be because I'm playing New Vegas, but it works that way here.

Is there a setting to show dates instead of relative time? I'm setting up mods for a new playthrough of Fallout 4 and my old saves all just say "2 years ago" with no way to tell the times apart. Having them show date and time on mouse-over would work too.

Oh yeah, with the Elder Scrolls Games and Fallout 4 the "creation time" is stored inside the file, saved by the game and it's actually the time the save was updated.

With Fallout 3 and NV there is no timestamp inside the file so we use the timestamp set by the operating system and there we currently use the actual creation time. Would make more sense to just switch to "modified time" to be more consistent with the other games.
