This problem affects all games. The game files cannot be backed up.
Distribution name and version where applicable
Fedora 39
Flatpak info
Flatpak 1.15.6
Steam flatpak 1.0.0.78
Problem description
I was about to switch from the Flatpak version to the RPM version to see if my Cloud Save issues would go away. I went to back up the game files so I wouldn't have to download them again. I got an error message when I clicked the Browse button to select a destination folder. I managed to work around it by using flatseal to add the path to the allowed paths. I still got the error message but it worked.
Steps to reproduce:
Right click a game in the library
Click Properties
Click Installed Files in the list on the left
Click the 'Backup game files' button on the right
Click Browse
Notice the error message "The folder contents could not be displayed" and "Operation not supported".
Select a folder on the left and navigate to another folder in the main view
Click Select on the top right
Notice the odd path
Click the 'Create backup' button
Notice that backing up the game files doesn't do anything
Does this issue reproduce with native Steam
Have not tested. Unlikely since it seems to be sandboxing issue.
