I have the game set to autosave every season, just in case. At one point, shit hit the fan so I savescummed, not wanting to lose the fortress, and loaded up the latest autosave. After a while I saved the game normally and closed out normally. When I brought the game back up, I went to load the primary save file, but it was far behind what I remembered having done. So I ended DF from task manager, not wanting to lose the work. Eventually I figured out that it was the autosave file I had loaded that seemed to have my most recent save info. It seems that for some reason that save file is now considered to be the primary one by the game.

Edit: Version is 33g

This is because DF saves to the folder from which the game was loaded.  If I need to savescum, I take the folder I want to load and copy it into the main region folder, keeps me from getting confused as to which save is the most recent.
