In addition the icon should highlight the workspace you are working on.

I think it would be great if Software had its own category and Books & Magazines were displayed alone.
This would give more attention to the new software since books suppress it now.

Software Center should be organized in a way Dash is. The Books should be one lens, the Apps - another. Later here would appear music and video with appropriate lenses.

It's not going to just stop at software and books and periodicals. Its eventually going to include other things...potentially music, support services, movies, torrents....who knows what!

Lets just skip all the iterations and jump to the end game now...sooner or later it'll be like Google Play or iTunes...but with more Ubuntu goodness.

Call me obtuse but I don't understand why BOOKS are in Software in the first place. I understand wanting to offer them to users but when I go looking for software, I'm not looking for books. When I'm looking for Books I'm not looking for software. What you have now is enforced serendipity.

In my opinion there can be two such sections:

Ubuntu Software Center
and
Ubuntu Book Center (aka library)

solutions 2,3 and 5 put toghether.
exept that instead of real separations, like in dash lens, add it as filter options (multiplechoices allowed)

So one could choose any number or all of the filters:
apps, books, magazines, music, video, free(gratis), free(libre), proprietary, paid, min. price, max price.
Plus all the already existing categories: internet, developer, games, media, video, photgraphy, etc.

Don't limit the number of shown images. Everything can remain as it is now, just add arrays to the left and right side of image previews so you can browse through all of them.

If you click at the image on the package page, it is enlarged to its full size. However, this way you have to scroll down and left to see the full image, or resize the window.
I like the functionality you can actually see the image in its original size, but I would like to see it at the end of "the resizing process".

1. You see image in a small frame as it is now, you can choose picture at the bottom bar with even smaller previews.
2. If you click on the image, it should be resized to fit the window (the same way you see images in every web browser).
It should be still easy to switch between images (eg. by including arrows on the left and on the right side).
3. Then you should be able to see the full-sized image, if you click on it again.

Developers should be able to show their name in Ubuntu Software Center.

If software has more developers at once, we can use something similar to circles on Google+, in which you can have more people at once.
On the other hand, this can still be applied only for those, who submit their applications through myapps.developer.ubuntu.com site.

+ It would be great if you could browse the software by developer.

Developer should be easily able to submit more links. Link to the company homepage (the logo may be a link), link to the application homepage, link to social networks (eg. with buttons of the network).
This way developers would have the chance to promote themselves and Ubuntu Software Center would gain more popularity (my assumption).

+ e-mail links and web links are now considered the same. this should be obviously different.

It will be a good solution for this if we add a simple button like this mock-up I did:
http://postimage.org/image/5lensnmzz/85033110/

You can click and share easily.
Also, I add a important solution for computers that didn't have access to internet; save applications as offline application.
It will be very good also if you want to have a couple of your favorite applications in a pendrive, etc.

The applications save as offline will have a security check to check if a application is actually from ubuntu revised and secure applications.
