SteaScree: Steam Cloud Screenshot Uploader

Hey guys, a lot of us faced the notorious "Steam Cloud may be temporarily unavailable" error when trying to upload screenshots taken outside of Steam in-game overlay or even outside Steam at all. There are plenty of guides how to avoid this error and get the job done, but they are typically complicated and now even involve some Python/PowerShell/batch scripts.
I've just released a tool SteaScree, it is built with Qt, have a graphical interface, and is cross-platform and open-source, to achieve just this — uploading arbitrary screenshots to the Steam Cloud. The source code is available on GitHub[github.com].

Installers, screenshot of the SteaScree itself and a little description are here: https://steascree.download/

Feel free to try it and report back if you find this tool useful (or not). If there are any issues, post them here, or even better in the Issues section[github.com] on GitHub.

You can even join the Steam group, so your friends could learn about this app, too.

Hi! I really like your tool but all the thumbnails on my screenshot page are of the first screenshot I uploaded. This may just be me who can see this but you can check this for yourself if you want to.

Yes, I've also noticed this behavior. Seems like the trick with setting thumbnail value to "0" have some adverse effects. I'll look how this can be improved and release an updated version, if I'll succeed.

Well, that was relatively easy. I fixed it. Now I'll update the tool and post back here when it may be redownloaded.

Done. Installers are updated.

First of all, thanks for making this tool.
Unfortunately I've been unable to use it. I can't open the file 1.05 xWindows, getting an error of "unable to access file, device or path" error. I've downloaded it 4 times, and trying compatibility modes of windows 10

EDIT: solved! after disabling Avast antivirus.
