Add meta information/settings file to libraries (lp:#1765868)
Original report created by Chris Elliott (sembazuru)
When configuring a new library in the Footprint Library Table Manager and
one loads a local library, there isn't a way (that I know of) for the
library to pre-load the Description field of the library table.
What I'm suggesting is support for some sort of optional manifest file in
the .pretty folder that has Description (and possibly also options). When
adding the library to the fp-lib-table the author specified defaults should
be added to the table. The library should not fail to load if the manifest
file is non-existent or malformed. (As the .sweet folder schematic
libraries are implemented, a similar file should be there as well.)
This would allow the author of libraries to include content descriptions
and/or attribution info.
