Uploading screenshots to a different game
Im trying to upload screenshots from a mod for one of my steam games that has its own exe that I added as a game to Steam. Someone told me you can put screenshots into the other games folder and it would work but when I did they didnt show up. I even put the thumbnails with the folder. Is there any way at all I can add my screenshots to the other game or no?

So if I take a screenshot on minecraft as an added exe app then I won't be able to drop that SS in a new folder & publish it to steam.

The main reason for this is because steam does not have the abilities to vert different screenshots yet. Since they are taken from an approved game on steam they are fine to upload. Unlike Art works they need to be vetted as they are coming from personal computers with custom work.

So to answer your question, no... you can not.

Add them as Artwork and share the link.
Any non steam games and screenshots taken with the Nvidia Ansel dont save in F12 game folder but can be manually uploaded as Artwork.
