Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When saving a screenshot to disk, a file saving dialog appears with an error: Unable to find "/home/username/gameid_1.jpg". This error message only appears if a file doesn't exist at the exact same path. You can ignore the error and save the screenshot, but it's annoying.

I tested this only with GNOME and Flatpak version of Steam, not sure if it is reproducible with other setups.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Go to View > Recordings & Screenshots.
  2. Select a screenshot.
  3. Click Share > Save Image.

Nothing extracted yet.
