Put the version picker beside a clear “Manage saves for” label, with a wider slot list and save count as the main content. All six slots fit at the normal window size.
Group labeled transfer cards into “Bring saves into Longshot” and “Take your saves with you,” with a short explanation of each destination/source. Disabled copy and export actions explain why they are unavailable.
Make other discovered save locations expandable, and give empty saves a useful starting point. Linux describes its shared saves and offers the applicable actions.
Keep backup reassurance and Done in a separate footer. Longer slot lists and expanded inventories scroll within the content area.

Validation: .NET 10 build with warnings as errors; 575 core checks and all 28 release tests passed. Rendered and reviewed the actual Avalonia screens headlessly at 960×600 using authored fixtures in isolated environments: six slots, 18 slots, empty saves, expanded locations and Linux shared saves. Confirmed six slots and every action fit without scrolling, 18 slots remain reachable, transfer buttons navigate to their expected dialogs, empty saves disable export, and selecting another version refreshes the slots and export state. Export ends at 498 px and Done starts at 527 px (29 px gap). Native Windows desktop behavior has not been exercised.

The Saves page mixes a passive inventory with transfer actions, leaves little room for the selected version's slots, and lets the export button overlap Done with six slots. Redesign the page around viewing the selected version's progress and bringing saves in or taking them out. - Put the version picker beside a clear “Manage saves for” label, with a wider slot list and save count as the main content.
