Thank you for taking the time to make Ubuntu better. Since what you submitted is not really a bug, or a problem, but rather an idea to improve Ubuntu, I will mark the bug report as Confirmed and the package maintainer may set the importance to Wishlist. You may post your idea in Ubuntu Brainsto

@Micheal I don't understand any of your concerns: - The image will be displayed in synaptic (and/or add/remove) - not the cli apt backend. - These images wouldn't be downloaded during updates - they will only be loaded if the user is browsing or searching for applications. - Packages are not do

If you consider the space and time it already takes to keep track of what is already being kept track of - adding an image to each would take a massively larger amount. I for one one never consider using apt again if we were pushed into it. The download of these updates would take an extremely lon

Like I said in bug # 18683, I think that to start, it may make sense to just have a field in the control file with a URL that could point anywhere, just to give users an idea of what the program looks like and saving them time. Of course, this could end up resulting in dead screenshot URLs, but he

Adding this to gnome-app-install is not the real problem. But where should we setup the site? Is there a website enginge that could handle this? How to avoid duplicated work with other distributions? Would be nice to have a central site: - supports localised screen shots and description - show

Considering the limited viewing area of the description area in synaptic, perhaps it would be better to keep screenshots separate from the description. They could still go somewhere in the control file, allowing package managers to decide how to present the screenshots to the user. I would person

About the fact that it is a lot of work to gather screenshots for each app: in fact I was talking about *enabling* the tag, not making it mandatory. So afterwards, each package maintainer (or the person who provides the package description) could have the choice to add a screenshot. About the f

It looks feasible when done in Main, but that's still a lot, also, the thumbnails might be too small to be appreciated, so the best way is that if a thumbnail is clicked, a larger picture would be loaded from the internet, but that would entail gnome-app-install to open up a new window or take over
