WTF did you do with screenshot manager? It's even more atrocious now!
I opened my Steam today and I was literally schocked. New screenshot manager UI is absolutely atrocious! Everything was OK already, why did you have to change it? It's literally unusable now. There is no more option "to open screen manager" in context menu, there is no more option "to open screen folder"... Just revert everything back to previous UI!

PS. Is there any hint how to bring back old manager? I remember there was such an option when they changed it first time. Please, help!

Omg! I so agree with you! it was fine before the last update to it... now it's just one of the most annoying things ever. I barely want to take screenshots cause of it. I remember being able to hover my mouse over a screenshot and right click + Delete, you can't even do that anymore....

You have to open up the screenshots folder, press on another button and then finally! you can delete it... seriously, some changes didn't (most never) need to be made.

It looks like a change for the sake of change. They just took comfortable UI and made a mess out of it

Gabe, why?

Is it easier to navigate on the Steam Deck? because a lot of changes that I see look like they are more for that than the PC.

Changes for the steam deck shouln't have to affect PC players.

They have gradually been nerfing the manager and removing options that worked just fine. After last time you could no longer simply delete uploaded screenshots from your hard drive with a simple button prompt. Instead it would link you to the upload page.

Now you can't even open up the folder to delete them manually without opening up your game folder first and then manually navigating to the screenshot folder. I dont like the direction where this is going. Soon they will probably remove the button for highlighting screenshots.

The new Steam overlay UI while looking good, dont work at all either.
Instead of taking you directly to the relevant home page of a button like it used to (Workshop, Market, Guides etc) it now randomly saves any random page you had opened as its new Home page. (If i press "Guides" i want to access the home page with favorite guides listed not a window with a random guide i had opened at one point)


Valve, i love you guys but what the hell are you smoking? Are you guys actively trying to piss off your loyal users?
Rightclick on any screenshot and "show on disk" is the "open in file manager"
Stop this panic.

Dunno I like it. Better than previous one. I remember previous one being worse than what was before, sadly I forgot what was it exactly.

Another feature is missed - double click on screenshot to open it in PC image viewer

Writing descriptions to screeenshots is also very uncomfortable now
Awful interface.

Limited functionality can never be better.

Looks like Valve's lack of communication towards their community is becoming increasingly obvious. Making changes that a good majority of folks here don't like, and that's messing up with the screenshot manager.

Screenshots is basically the oldest piece of functionality still barely alive within the Steam website.

It was always broken and quirky, then the UI overall crippled it into near uselessness, now we have this new version, and I don't see any of my screenshots in the manager. They are all gone.

Do not depend on this feature. Take pictures of the screen with a phone.

Same steps but more clicks for each screen shot. 1 to two clicks per screenshot before, 4 clicks for 1 screenshot now, 9 for 2, 14 for 3… not counting captions.

Fanatics will still defend this 💩. Actively working to make steam a 💩 hole, good job valve.

it is worse..

- can't double click an image to view in windows viewer and compare them with ease..

- images don't rearrange themselves after being uploaded which previously made it easier to find images that were yet to be uploaded..

- UI doesn't tell U how many images U have selected..

all of this just makes life harder, unpleasant and me not wanting to upload screenshots anymore which i quite like to do so..
