    You can try one of the following:

    1) If you have a .cps file on your desktop, try putting it in the "Saves" folder right next to Powder.exe. If there isn't a folder named Saves, make one! :D
    You can open .cps files that are in the Saves folder by holding Ctrl and pressing the open save button.

    2) You can also tell TPT to open .cps files by itself - open TPT and press Ctrl+I to add the file associations and link handler. Then you can double click on .cps files to open them with TPT!

    3) "Installing" TPT also lets you open saves with the "Open" button while putting your mouse over the save boxes or with the Open button next to the Download button when viewing a save:

    When mousing over the save, 2 icons should come up, one saying 'View' and the other 'Open'.

    Clicking Open will open the save, try it on this one:

     


    EDIT: Damn you Boxmein.

    I don't think this is what they wanted.

    That is what they meant.

    Well, you only need to click on the blue title, it will direct you to this page and from there, you hit the "Open" button (The first one that is located next to the up-votes and down-votes meter).

    Edit: lol, none of you two managed to post the right thing.

    Queuing is an old feature that was removed when tpt was redone (but still seems to work in my mod lol). Basically when you hit the Queue button, it would queue that save to be opened the next time you opened the save browser in game. The open button is much better though since it will launch the game for you and open the save without any work.

    It looks like you discovered a glitch though where it is still trying to queue a save. This doesn't work with the most recent versions of TPT, so you will have to click the blue link like @Mrprocom said and then hit "open" or "download" from that page. Maybe i'll poke Simon to work on the groups system more but dunno ..., this bug only happens there.
