I cant restore backup file.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Select Steam ->Restore Game Backup -> Browse...
The Backup Destination window does not list any files, folders, etc. making it impossible to restore a game backup.

In the recent beta update, the issue of "unpopulated" folder trees has been fixed, but one last problem remains:

  1. Go to the "Steam settings" -> "In Game"
  2. "External screenshots folder" -> "Choose folder": a new window opens: "Select external screenshots folder"
  3. At first this seems to be fully functional, you can browse to any filesystem location.
  4. Choosing "Select", however, leads to an immediate crash, no matter which folder is chosen.
    No error messages or further log entries can be seen.

On my machine, this happens everywhere where the fallback file picker is used: as soon as I click on select after choosing a folder from the directory tree, the steam client crashes immediately.
