We have an extension with 5 global screenshots, where a subset of our supported locales also have 5 localized screenshots. We expected that the localized screenshots would "override" the global screenshots.

However, one global screenshot is showing alongside the 5 localized screenshots [Example].

Could you help us understand what's happening here? If localized screenshots don't override global ones, that would be unfortunately but understandable. But exactly 1 global screenshot being shown is totally unexpected.

Is there a way to ensure only localized screenshots are shown?

Thanks

Hey Mark
This is a bug with the current infrastructure. I am trying to get it fixed, but it likely won't be soon. You might be able to work around it by removing your global screenshot, but I am not sure if it is possible to not havre any global screenshots.

Sounds good, thanks for the update!

The UI suggests that at least one global screenshot is required, so I'm not sure that removing them all is possible. Even if it is, we would prefer not to because we don't have localized screenshots for all locales.

We can wait for the fix.
