Description Dominique Leuenberger 2016-02-01 22:51:22 UTC 
This issues had been identified with by looking at the two applications

* gedit
* girl

The first to be shown loads the screenshot, which by upstream is named 'screenshot.png'

Searching for the 2nd app in gnome-software loads the description and the 'already cached' screenshot.png - which happens to be from the other application.

The screenshots are cached in ~/.cache/gnome-software/screenshots

I assume this does not happen in Fedora where screenshots are mirrored to a local infra - something we do not yet have functionally worked out completely for openSUSE.

    Use a hashed URL prefix for the screenshot local cache filename
    
    For metadata that has not been run with 'appstream-util mirror-screenshots' all
    it takes is for one upstream to choose the same basename for the URL as another
    application before there is a clash, for instance 'Screenshot1.png'.
    
    This scheme should also stop evil apps showing the wrong screenshot for other
    applications.
