While searching for the it via the DASH. I right clicked it to preview it. And I found out there is no screen-shot(naturally), of my app. Apparently to add a screen-shot to the unity dash, is by uploading it here: http://screenshots.debian.net/upload, and that can only be done, if there is an existing application, to upload a screen-shot for. My apps are purely for my benefit and solely made for my current setup. I don't think it would benefit anyone else. My feature request - the short version - is: make it so that one could add there own screen-shot sources/direct link: 1. screenshot_sources { 'http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshots/', 'custom_path_to_screenshot' } 2. screenshot_MyApp { 'http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshots/existingappname.png', 'custom_path_to_screenshot/MyApp.png' } Or via the `.desktop` file. Screenshot=/home/blah/MyApp/MyApp-screenshot.png LONG VERSION: I may not be with a company that uses Ubuntu as there default work horse, but companies could definitely use such a feature. Most companies have there own set of apps, some even developed in house. It would be beneficial that those app could also be further integrated in to the unity desktop without having to post there existence online. I'm not just talking about screen-shot, although my knowledge is somewhat limited on how far one could integrate there app in to unity, locally. For that I leave you to your imagination. This is just a feature that would make me more happier than I am right now with Ubuntu. And I think it could make others happy to. If you implement it, or not, I still wanna thank the team for taking the time to look at this, and for all the hard work you guys put into Ubuntu.
