Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): steam-runtime_0.20220315.0 (built 2022-05-26 18:36:10)
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 22.04
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Whenever I upload a file in Steam's chat on Linux, the file picker defaults to showing .ogv files only, even if my last file uploaded wasn't a .ogv file (or if I've never uploaded a file from that PC). I then have to manually set the file type to "All files" or whichever type is appropriate.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open a chat with a friend
  2. Click the paperclip "Send Special" button, then "Upload an Image"
  3. Steam's file picker will open, and have the file type filter set to "Ogg Media File (*.ogv)" by default

This has been a big annoyance for a long time, it should default to All Files like it did years ago.

Is there any hope getting this done? This should be trivial to fix.
