I've got an application with a valid desktop file for which I attempted to
write an appdata file.  I couldn't find any screenshots online, so I took
some of my own and installed them with the application.  The log message
for this application says:

Failed to load screenshot file://<path>: Downloading failed: Cannot resolve
hostname

Am I taking a fundamentally wrong approach, or does something in the
appdata stack need to be taught about file:// URLs?

Thanks,
