GameHub not integrating with Flatpak Steam

Steps to reproduce

-Use GameHub AppImage -Use Flatpak Steam -In Gamehub put Flatpak Steam on path ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam

correct path was ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam

[RTSAjwad]

My previous comment is the correct path but the problem is that in order to detect steam I had to move my ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam folder to ~/.local/share/

After I had done that then I created a symlink ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam pointing to ~/.local/share/Steam

Then Steam had to reauthorise when I booted it up again. Once I had done all this then GameHub detected flatpak Steam with the steam path set to what I said previous comment.

I believe this works out of the box on Gnome Games though so maybe there is a way to get this working on GameHub side.

Also a downside to this fix is that I need to sign in and authorise using steam email code every time I open steam.
