Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
If we are browsing apps in SC, the screenshot thumbnails are stored in /tmp as s-c-screenshot1
If a user is browsing several apps then the whole /tmp has a huge list of those screenshots. And these are not cleaned until the next session.
It would be cleaner/less messier if the screenshots and any other SC related temporary items were stored in a folder of its own.
Maybe in a folder named /tmp/SoftwareCenter ?
The thumbnail is not re-used anyway right now[ Bug #648279 ].
Once that is fixed along with Bug #648278 ,Creating this folder might be easier to keep a cache atleast until the user reboots? Making SC seem to react quicker.
