So anyone know how to copy/move a select number of files in a folder

I have a folder (2.8 tb in size) with almost a hundred folders in it and multiple files in each but i only need specific files and since as i said its 2.8tb i cant send the whole thing and i fear i might mess something up if i try copying each files individually

I remember being able to do this on my old windows gaming pc but since i use my steamdeck as my pc now and with having a different OS i kinda forgot how to do this

Hi guys, I’ve been trying to play quasimorph and zero sivert on my steamdeck for ages now but cant get over both of their native controls being so bad and missing certain inputs like not being able to view the status affects that pop up in the top middle of quasimorph when say a perk triggers. I was really hoping someone on here knew a way that I was able to use mouse and keyboard controls such as trackpad for mouse but be able to keep the on screen button prompts as controller ones so it doesn’t get confusing and I have to remember the ‘’Alt key’’ is actually just a back paddle. Thanks in advance if anyone knows a solution <3

Hello everyone, hope you are having a great day. I have an issue with the app on steam deck. I downloaded, installed it and went through the main menu and found my console via WiFi. I followed the instructions and to pair the console I have to put some numbers. The problem is, that I can’t make the keyboard appear no matter what. Even though I use the shortcut (steam button + X) it won’t work. Does anyone else has the same problem or knows how to get over it? Thank you fellow gamers.

If you've utilized Steam Remote Play, then you've probably run into the issue of your deck constantly switching between your wifi access points and ruining the experience. I've tried the Decky Loader plugin Wifi Locker, and it simply would not work for me, so I've eliminated that as an option.

Now this fix is really for those who utilize wifi access points that come with a native app. If you don't use access points, I'm not sure if you've run into similar connectivity issues. If you're interested in setting them up, I can explain how to do that later in this post.

THE FIX: If you already have wifi access points, just open the native app on your phone (mine is called Deco), and you can open a list of all devices connected to your wifi system. Make sure your deck is connected to your wifi and select it. In the setup menu for your deck, you can actually choose to stay connected to a specific access point (by default it's set to Auto, which lets the deck constantly switch between access points). I selected the access point connected to my desktop PC, and my remote play connectivity issues stopped then and there.

If you don't have access points yet: I use the TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 WiFi 6 Mesh System. The cost varies depending on how many access points you want, I got the 3-pack myself. It might seem a bit steep at $65-150 currently on amazon, but for me it's a no brainer if it lets me play games like Palworld and Cyberpunk 2077 flawlessly at my fingertips.

1. Unbox the access points and download the native mobile app. Connect your main access point to your existing router.
2. Connect your second access point to your desktop PC. You'll need 1 ethernet cable connecting the access point and the PC, and another ethernet cable connecting the access point and an ethernet port on your wall. (If your existing wifi router and pc are all close together, then maybe you can get away with just 1 access point, in which case you might not even need this fix? I'm not too sure.)
3. Refer to "THE FIX" above.

I hope this is helpful and works out well for others. If these instructions were unclear or you have any questions, I'm happy to try and answer them. I'm also curious if anyone else has tried this with success. Please let me know!

Hey everyone,

I posted Copy2Deck here recently and received a lot of useful feedback—especially around drag-and-drop, the interface feeling more complicated than it needed to be, connection troubleshooting, and trust around downloading an unsigned application.

I took that feedback seriously and have released Copy2Deck 1.2.0.

The biggest change is a redesigned Deck Manager. It is now the main screen and uses a familiar dual-pane layout:

• This PC on the left
• Steam Deck on the right
• Quick locations for both devices
• Drag files and folders in either direction
• Select and drag multiple items
• Drop directly onto a folder to transfer into it
• Drop onto empty space to use the currently open directory
• Right-click actions for open, rename, delete, new folder, and refresh
• Storage tools for calculating sizes, finding large folders, and reviewing Deck storage

Local Windows deletions now go to the Recycle Bin. Steam Deck deletions remain permanent and require confirmation.

I also added Connection Doctor. If Copy2Deck cannot connect, it checks:

• Hostname resolution
• SSH port 22
• Username and password authentication
• SFTP startup
• Home-folder access
• Write permission

It then gives a plain-language result instead of leaving users with only a technical SSH exception.

Other features available now include:

• Securely saved connection details using Windows encryption
• Quick Copy for guided one-file or one-folder transfers
• Existing-file conflict choices
• Transfer verification
• Adaptive parallel transfers for larger jobs
• Steam game discovery
• Quick access to compatdata, shader cache, Workshop, screenshots, and game folders
• Versioned backup profiles for saves, mods, and configuration folders
• Installer and portable versions

Copy2Deck is still completely free. Files move directly between your Windows PC and Steam Deck over your local network—there is no account, cloud storage, telemetry service, or subscription.

A few transparent notes:

• It currently requires Windows 10 or 11.
• SSH must be enabled once from Steam Deck Desktop Mode.
• The application is not code-signed yet, so Windows may display a SmartScreen warning.
• Every release includes SHA-256 checksums so downloads can be verified.

Thanks again to everyone who gave constructive feedback. I would especially appreciate feedback on the new dual-pane workflow, drag-and-drop behavior, and anything that still feels less convenient than other file managers.

Does anyone know how to add a custom dashboards to xemu? If so how can i do it on steam deck? I also want to use cheats
