Some programs in the Software Center lack screenshots. Is there a way to add them?

Idea: It would be nice if there was some sort of button Add Screenshot under the "no screenshot" area

You can quickly and easily add screenshots to screenshots.debian.net which is the website that the Software Centre gets its screenshots from.

There will be a delay in your uploads appearing in the Software Centre, because all screenshots are first moderated.

I guess this only applies to programs being released in debian, what about programs only released in Ubuntu? – Pit Feb 3 '11 at 13:09
    
@Pit it does apply to Ubuntu programs also (see this list of repositories that it includes) – 8128 Feb 3 '11 at 19:33

i'm trying to add the Snes9x's screenshot but it seems there is no package Snes9x in Debian so i can't add the screenshot, however Snes9x exists in USC. – loonix Feb 11 '11 at 3:41
    
@user8972 snes9x is in Debian. I suspect the reason you can't add a screenshot for it is because the program is not fully open source. This might be by design, but you could report a bug. – 8128 Feb 11 '11 at 7:00
    
More likely you are not able to upload a screenshot because the package is no longer present in new versions of debian: it was removed because it was no longer maintained. packages.qa.debian.org/s/snes9x/news/20110314T095707Z.html – johanvdw Sep 16 '11 at 19:53

You can upload the screenshots.

For browsing screenshots : http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/packages/without_screenshots?search=&debtag=

For uploading : http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/upload
