Hi Adam,

that looks great!
Apart from the a little bit too big arrow-heads Nick already mentioned… :)

Regarding KIGITHUB:
It is already set in …/kicad.app/Contents/Info.plist to
    <key>LSEnvironment</key>
        <dict>
            <key>KIGITHUB</key>     <string>https://github.com/kicad</string>
        </dict>
Any problems with this?


Regards,
Bernhard
