Are you installing them with the package? I guess file:// could makesense, so if that's what you're doing can you file a bug in

please and we'll discuss there. Generally I think screenshots should
be available on some remote server (which is only accessed when
building metadata, not by all clients) as they tend to be sizeable and
not particularly useful if you've got an app already installed.
Agreed. I really only need this to solve a chicken and egg problem. I want to convince upstream to adopt the AppData file that I've written for them. It would be helpful to my argument if I could show them what their app would look like in gnome-software. But, since upstream hasn't posted any screenshots (that I can find), I need to do something else to demonstrate to them what this would gain, hence the question.
I can probably find web space somewhere to upload the screenshots I've taken, but it seems weird for me to be hosting their screenshots. Still, that's probably what I should do until [1] I can get upstream to do the hosting.
