* Switch to using org.kicad.kicad as the main app ID * Move the appstream file to a metainfo file * Rename all metadata files to use the reverse DNS scheme * Add header matching to mime type files where possible * Add a mime type for gerber job files * Add a QA test that verifies all the linux metadata files and run it in CI * Update the visible names in the launcher entries to be more consistent with the internal visible names * Update various strings and items in the metainfo file so they are more descriptive and easier to read |
