Steam crashes when changing Uncompressed screenshots folder (default is ${HOME}/Documents). When launching Steam again the change was not taken in account and is still default folder. Expected behavior: No crash and change of folder successful

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam
  2. Go to Steam/Settings/In Game/Uncompressed screenshots folder/
  3. Click on Change folder and select any folder and then OK
  4. This crash the whole Steam client

This was happening to me too but I fixed it by installing xdg-desktop-portal and the proper backend for it (xdg-desktop-portal-kde in my case).

xdg-desktop-portal causes problems when installed. If you start to notice various applications suddenly take 5, 10, 30 seconds to open when they used to be instantaneous...xdg-desktop-portal.

On my side I no longer have the issue although I am not sure of which exact action fixed it: At some point a system update prevented me to start entirely Steam and I ended up both removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and installing lib32-libnm . Since then, steam starts fine and I was able to change the uncompressed screenshot folder without crash. I suspect that it was removing xdg-desktop-portal-gnome that did the trick (Now I have instead xdg-desktop-portal installed).
