Appimage creates /compatibilitytools.d in ~/.local/share/Steam instead of ~/.steam/root #173

Closed LinuxJoeUser closed 9 months ago

LinuxJoeUser commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug
ProtonUP-QT (on PUQ 2.5 and 2.7.7) create ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/ where the Steam client doesn't look for PUQ's downloaded files , instead of in ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d where Steam does see the files and they don't appear in Steam's "Force compatibility tools" drop down.

To Reproduce
Run the .appimage on Xubuntu 22.04, I suppose.

Expected behavior
Steam client would see and scan /compatibilitytools.d and make those files available to user in Steam client's "Force compatibility tool" drop down.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context

Terminal output
Interesting to note that the Appimage isn't seen by bash, either, so launching it that way doesn't work. Other appimages can be run from the cli (e.g., sc-controller, bitwarden, antimicro).

Let me know if I can provide more info, and thanks for all your work on ProtonUp-QT, it's a well-designed, time-saving tool. Keep up the good work!

It looks like there are multiple Steam installations on the same system. Normally, ~/.steam/root is just a link to ~/.local/share/Steam. That could be caused by an older Steam installation where the directory was different.

Maybe try to check which folder is the correct one of the two folders and delete the other one if it's not needed anymore.

Please let me know if this solved the issue.

I wonder if this is resolved with the changes made to how we select the Steam install directory?

In theory, commit https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt/commit/95b2e6b229564dc05dfc53e0ffd52a8b5805dab8 should cover this issue as it is less likely that the old folder contains both config.vdf and libraryfolder.vdf. The commit is included with version 2.8.1.

In case they still remain in the wrong folder from an older installation, the issue would still persist. That would need a different way of checking for the correct folder, e.g. prioritize ~/.steam/root as it is the most common and correct folder.
