It’s an issue because every desktop shell has a different implementation and Steam needs to support various versions of kde/gnome/xfce and whatnot. I found that I had to install certain packages and do unholy things to make dialog appear on some systems.
Hmm, I would have assumed its as simple as checking for a few different file managers and just launching one. Interesting that it seems to be more complicated than that.
I’ll be amazed if the file browse dialogs actually work.
Why’s that? Seems like a fairly simple task to me

huh? isn’t it just a simple
xdg-mime query default inode/directory(obviously in non-bash code form) and then calling that program?like if games can do this, why can’t steam?
That would be a miracle
