I'm a fan of the previews as well, though it needs more thought. Imo the only ways to do it are: 1. a script that reacts to screenshot/ folders or somesuch 2. add a <screenshotfolder> to the addon.xml spec. This would be pulled out of the zip and added to a new metadata zip. That way screenshots could be fetched with the other metadata without downloading the addon itself (otherwise it makes no sense, right?). 2. Makes way more sense, but I wouldn't be opposed to 1. in the short-term. Arne?
