Title:
  Dash previews cache cover-art images until unity restarts

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
