F8 default way of PoE is not reckognized by steam screenshots uploader

hi,

There are 2 ways to take screenshots and one of them, steam doesnt like it :

The PoE "default way" to take a screenshot is F8. Then the image is saved in my documents. Nothing is displayed in "Steam screenshot uploader" = bug.

But there is the "steam default way", that is press F12, it also takes a screenshot, and this time it is displayed in "Steam screenshot uploader".
-----------------------------
Let's say I play PoE.
I take a screenshot with F8 (default key, I am used to it, since I started the game, and all people who play it too, since it's default).
I want to upload my lovely screenshots to steam to show my friends and the world.
I switch from game to steam by pressing shift+tab.
I click in steam desktop, at bottom left : "SCREENSHOTS" : "view screenshots" .
A new windows opens with Steam Screenshot Uploader.
I select PoE.
HORROR : it is empty !
Where are my screenshots ?
What do I do ?
For me it's clearly a bug.
I want to see my images in Steam screeshots uploader.
---------------------------
PoE screenshots location is : My Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\Screenshots.
Steam uses this location :
C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\usernumberwxyzabcdefghijkl\760\remote\238960\screenshots

Thanks

For the past several years the default hotkey for Steam Screenshots has been, and almost certainly always will be, F12. Unless you changed it to F8, F8 won't do anything except initiate the games method of taking a screenshot.

I know this already and that's not the problem I raised.
F8 is the default key for screenshots in PoE.
And there are other problems I raised, re read what I wrote.

If you "know this already" - why not use F12 then?

It's not for me.
Who is right?

How is it "bug"?
You're using F8 - screens end up in PoE folder; you're using F12 - screens end up in Steam folder.
So where is the "bug" exactly? All is working as intended...

Because I am used to F8 already and I would like that F8 screenshots will be reckognized by steam too. Why is it so hard for you to understand ?

Look, I am always right, never discuss (joke :) ) It's a bug : screenshots taken with F8 should be reckognized by steam too. Otherwise what would be the point of using PoE with Steam ? Not for just sharing logging, but for a lot of things, like screenshots and achievement progress ...etc.

You can tell Steam to recognise F8 as the screenshot key in Steam's settings; PoE can't do this for you. The screenshot function in PoE is entirely separate from Steam's.
(you'll also be taking two screenshots at the same time if you don't rebind PoE's screenshot function)

I already asked them.
See http://steamcommunity.com/app/238960/discussions/0/522730076148367703/
As in, in the regular Steam window, go to Steam -> Settings -> In-Game and set the Screenshot Shortcut Key to F8. That will make it so F8 dumps into Steam as well.
