When i want to try the new Custom Steam Library Folders feature i have this window

newSteamLibraryFolder

I think it was related with the NTFS partition where it's located https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/596 but testing some solutions i found i was wrong

I want to create "Steam Linux" library folder, Steam creates SteamApps subfolder but throw me the window on the image and don't work. In debug text says "Steam" only, not "Steam Linux":
sh: 1: /mnt/documentos/Juegos/Steam: not found
If i create a "SteamLinux" folder all is working well.

use ntfs-3g to mount the partition instead of ntfs

Let us know if the ntfs-3g fix works. Either way, it helps point to an issue.

I will test ntfs-3g tomorrow and answer both you, but i have to say i am using "ntfs" driver, and i'm only to use "SteamLinux" instead of "Steam Linux" for the name of Steam Library folder to avoid the problem, and, for example, i'm playing Cogs now. Anyway, i will test ntfs-3g, but changing a default working configuration in fstab for this, i don't know if its more easy a fix in the Steam client...

I have tested with ntfs-3g without any difference. "SteamLinux" folder name works, "Steam Linux" doesn't work. Same information sh: 1: /mnt/documentos/Juegos/Steam: not found in the second case. ntfs driver and ntfs-3g driver have not difference for me on this issue.
