This is purely loading in the background based and has no artificial delay.
Will be more useful once kicad.exe ends up loading more on launch immediately ;)
Right now the splash is probably visible the longest launching pcbnew standalone.
The actual splash image can be considered a placeholder
Some layout programs add a blank block at the beginning but include the
terminating '*' on a line before starting the actual data. This is
ignored by GerbView so we all this type of behavior in the mimetype file
detection as well

On some Linux desktops, we get extra icons in the application dock.
This happens because the dock doesn't know the "class" of the
application. We need to add StartupWMClass=xxx lines, where xxx is
the name associated with the application.
This patch addresses the following issue:
https://gitlab.com/kicad/packaging/kicad-ubuntu-builder/kicad-daily-package/-/issues/30
While it was written against Ubuntu, it also affects Fedora, and
probably other Linux systems too.
(cherry picked from commit e8e25fd732)
This avoids conflict with existing kicad installations. Older version
files are preferentially opened by older KiCad installations while new
KiCad files get opened by version 6
The non-www https URL appears to redirect through a non-https URL before
reaching the www https URL, which triggers a warning in some appstream
validation tools. Instead, just go to the www https URL directly so
there are no redirects needed.
The X-AppStream-Ignore=true will signal to appstream generators that
these programs won't have their own appstream information, since we
provide these programs under the main KiCad appstream file.
Our DNS has updated to kicad.org, so we should update the reverse DNS to
reflect this. Also addresses incorrect boolean type noted by Daniel
