Bug Description

The dash preview art-work is cached by the icon loader until unity restarts. So the more you preview, the more memory is taken. This applies to all non-generated images, e.g. App preview screenshots, music album covers and file previews where an icon is shown.

Desired solution is to cache only while the dash previews are open to help smooth navigation.
