As it is for now there's no easy way to change a folder's icon with a custom one. Exampel I want to change my Steam folder which indicate it's Steam in that directory. I have tried with gio command also with gvfs-set-attribute command but it is deprecated.

gio set -t string metadata::custom-icon file:///home/orion/.icons/ePapirus/48x48/places/folder-black-steam.svg

But it didn't work. Is there a way to use custom icons in "Files"?

regards,

    The only folders I found a way to change are the ones with icons - Pictures, Downloads, Documents... I was trying to add some new entries into directories file where these are listed with no luck.. It is a feature that I miss from other linux/osx distros
