Anyone able to help with Steam Rom Manager

Application is throwing this error on Ubuntu 19.10:

Warning! No user accounts found, it could be due to one of the reasons below:

incorrect Steam directory;
no user has ever logged in;
Steam does not save user credentials ("Show advanced options -> User accounts -> Use account credentials").
If you're seeing this, preview won't be generated for this configuration.

Directory I'm using is

/usr/bin/steam

Correct Steam directory for you (as you said in comment) is:

~/.local/share/Steam

But it is better to specify the full path:

/home/you_user/.local/share/Steam

To find all directories called steam or Steam you could use the next command:

sudo find / -type d -iname Steam 2>&1 | grep -v "Permission denied"

It would show only case insensitive (-i before name) directories (-type d option), hiding records with Permission denied message.

In my case it outputs:

/usr/lib/games/steam
/usr/lib/steam
/usr/share/doc/steam
/home/user/test/steam-rom-manager/src/lib/helpers/steam
/home/user/.local/share/Steam
/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steam

Doing ls of each directory, you could get theirs content. Appropriate folder would contain a lot of files and directories.
