Add button to "Copy Link" so users can quickly share recommendations.

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad]

Someone just pasted this image in an IRC channel, and it gave me a good laugh: http://i.imgur.com/FYhR3.gif

So, I asked myself.. "Do we have Frogger in Ubuntu?". Turns out, we do. Now, I wanted to share this back on the same channel. But there's no easy way to do that. If you look at the bottom of the screen, you'll see "Version: pixfrogger 1.0-2". If you're experienced, you'll know "pixfrogger" is the name of the package, and you can write that.

It would be so much simpler if there was a button at the top, saying "Copy link". Clicking it should simply copy "http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/pixfrogger" to your clipboard, enabling you to paste it anywhere.

This should be a very easy fix for someone who knows Ubuntu Software Center. I'm still trying to understand the code, and it's not all that easy. :)

Thanks for your bugreport.

We have a menu item for this, a additional button is certainly a interessting idea, I subscribe MPT to this report for his input.

Yes, I discovered this afterwards. But it's anything but obvious, and I think something like that should be very visible.
