Importing wallpapers from one account to another
Hello, I'm facing problem with wallpapers i have saved, but are not showing up in Wallpaper Engine.

To be exact, i bought Wallpaper Engine in 2018 on my (back then) main account, then i created this account, and it became my main one. I was collecting all my wallpapers using my earlier main acc, and just got mad about having to re-login just to search workshop. So few days ago i bought Wallpaper Engine on my current main account, but there are no wallpapers showing on the list (only the default ones). Wallpapers that i had set some time ago are still working, but are not showing on the list. Is there any way to restore all wallpapers??

Note: I have all of these wallpapers saved on my SSD, they are in correct spot (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\431960) and unfortunately Wallpaper Engine is seeing only wallpapers that I subscribed to, not the ones i have saved.

If there's any way to subscribe to all wallpapers i had on my earlier main account, i would be glad to know

Steam stores your subscriptions per account too (and FYI it will only delete files that you unsubscribed from both accounts, should you want to subscribe the same ones, so that can make it quite a hassle if you do that).

The best we can offer you right now is that you use the backup system to make them independent from Steam's subscription management: https://wallpaper-engine.fandom.com/wiki/Backup_Steam_Workshop Unfortunately this is not as convenient as just using subscriptions, but there is no way to share them between accounts as far as we know, we would need Steam to be improved in that aspect first.

This way they can work the same under both accounts and they will show up under both of them until you manually delete them from the backup folder again.

Thank You very much, it's not the same as subscribing to them, but it also works perfectly, so thanks again for Your response!
