I just tried to reload a "Save to Disk" Save and... figured it doesn't work like I thought it would. 

Maybe you could rephrase that button to "Alternate Safe" or "Manual Safe"? At the moment it totally seems like a backup option of the 6 save slots above. 

And I just lost all of my progress because of that. ._.' That's over 60hrs playtime and 3 OCs lost. Now I'm really sad. I really wanted to try out diffrent story lines but I will not replay everything from the start.

I'm sorry you lost your saves. Unfortunately the name can't be changed as it's part of the engine and isn't editable. It's a core part of how SugarCube functions and all Twine SugarCube games work like this. Browser saves and Save to Disk saves are separate entities; as outlined in the Troubleshooting Game Launch & Save Errors guide, Save to Disk only saves your current session on the passage you are currently on. If you are backing up browser saves, you need to load each save and save them individually, it cannot be done en masse.  

Thank you for the reply. I didn't know about the problem the engine. Maybe you could add the info about how the saves work in the tutorial? At the start of the game when the save functions are pointed out maybe? I found a lot of other players with the same issue and maybe that problem could be easily prevented somehow. Thank you for this really nice experience, I did enjoy spending time with "Wayfarer" alot. :)
