Bug ID: 39467 Summary: Steam file chooser displays files out of order Product: Wine Version: 1.7.53 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: abolte@systemsaviour.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 52598 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52598 steam_locate_your_backup_files-windows_7_screenshot.png
In Steam, it is possible to bring up a file chooser dialog box called "Locate your Backup Files" (by clicking Steam -> Backup and Restore Games... -> Restore a previous backup -> Next -> BROWSE...).
This feature is used regularly in Wine testing, as I often want to create a clean Steam installation in a new Wine prefix and restore a fresh copy of a game from a backup directory.
While Steam lists directories in order under Windows, they are always in a random order in Wine. This makes finding a game to restore from hundreds of backups a very time consuming process, and reduces the time I have for testing.
Hopefully it's an easy fix.
