Ability to put grid and hero pictures for non-steam games

While it's annoying that there's no in-Steam way to do this, it's possible to do this with external tools: https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop

And before you dismiss this as possibly being troublesome to install on the Deck, it's got a flatpak, and is available in Discover, so really the hardest part of installing it is typing "sgdboop" into the search field before it loses focus.

Scratch all that. Apparently because now both Firefox and SGDBoop are flatpaks, the process is more involved than they lead you to believe.
After much digging, apparently the only way to get this working on the Steam Deck now is by removing the flatpak version of Firefox, and installing the "normal" version, which itself likely requires disabling the readonly flags on the filesystem, and maybe other things, and honestly this all begins to sound like you'd be better off just figuring out where to put the files, and what to name them manually.

"That was easy."

I actually don't usually click on instructional videos because 99% of them are about 10 times longer than they need to be, and make it extremely hard to actually find what you're looking for. This isn't the case here, but to summarize: "Right click on the blank areas, and set your art."

So, looks like this is already a function in Steam.

Does that the artwork persist in game mode?

Yes. I set all the art for the standalone RetroArch install, and it's still there in game mode.

What would be great is community art packs, much like community layouts, so you can set your custom art and share with others. That way quickly grab someone else’s set (there’s 5 images total) for a game ID or an exe name, much simpler than uploading one by one.
