Big Picture Mode ADD NON STEAM GAME HELP!!!!
This info I need is ONLY FOR BIG PICTURE MODE. I know how to add a non steam game to my steam library PC Desktop side box mode.

Click add non steam game find file or "Search Folders" find the exe game submit and it's in my steam library.. I also know how to change icon. BUT............. I need some BIG PICTURE MODE experts to help me with this issue adding a non steam game on Big Picture Mode.

When in Big Picture Mode under settings there is a option to click "ADD NON STEAM GAME" which is great however the steam "DEFAULT" list only shows about 20 shortcuts to click. There is NO BROWSE FOLDER for me to find my game that is not in the list. How do I browse folders to find game?

That option is available on desktop box mode. And.... if this is NOT an option what folder are the DEFAULT shortcuts stored in? I looked under desktop shortcuts etc...I cannot find the folder. I was hoping I could just paste the game into that folder and then instead of it showing me a default of 20 shortcuts it would now show 21 shortcuts because I could add my game in the folder to choose being there is NO BROWSE FOLDERS option while being in Big Picture Mode.

The reason WHY this is important is because I have an Alienware Alpha R2 and I have it start in Console mode. this way Steam loads Big Picture Mode and I want to play like that being the desktop mode is shut down.

SINCE STEAM CONSTANTLY deletes all added non steam games.. it's pointless for me to add it from desktop then switch to console mode because it will all be deleted anyways which is stupid and a known issue.

I want to fire up my CONSOLE mode go into Big Picture Mode and add a non steam game. but again it isn't in the lame steam default shortcuts to find my game... I NEED BROWSE MORE FOLDERS option that IS NOT THERE! please somebody must know what to do.

That said, go to settings and Add Library Shortcut. Also I happened to notice a little something there in your wall of text about Steam constantly deleting non-Steam games. That's not normal and something needs to be fixed on your end cuz I've had certain non-Steam games in my library for well over 2 years now.

Hey Roland.... sorry about the "wall of text" I fixed the wall for you...... but you didn't understand the problem' In BPM yes there is a ADD LIBRARY but it displays 20 shortcuts..

My game is not in the steam BPM default library... I NEED to know how to find the BROWSE FOLDERS to find my game,?

Or is there a way to add game into the default library so it will show 21 and not 20 shortcuts.. AGAIN THROUGH BPM ONLY!
