Describe the bug
When using VRCX as installed via the Linux install script, none of the metadata features work. Enabling the feature does not add metadata to images, and enabling "Modify Filename" does not modify the filename whatsoever. My initial theory was that VRCX couldn't properly see the files, but clicking "Last Screenshot" does open the most recent image. (The "Screenshots" common folder errors out with a 'folder doesn't exist' error, but the "Photos" common folder does.)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Enable the screenshot helper, and "Modify filename".
Open VRChat via Steam.
Take a photo using the camera, or a screenshot.
Check the image in the metadata viewer, and in the file explorer.
The name does not include world ID, and there's no metadata in the photo.

Expected behavior
There should be metadata (world ID, players, etc.) embedded in the files, and the filenames should be modified.

Screenshots

Example of Modify Filename not functioning.

What happens if you click the Photos button in Common Folders.
