Hi All!

Given the lack of documentation, I have some questions:

1) Why the data for embedded files seems to be so different than the data for images? I mean, images are base64 encoded and stored as (data STRING) with the string separated in chunks, before KiCad 8 it wasn't an string, so it looked as keywords. KiCad 8 fixed it. And now embedded files are (data |KEYWORDS|) ... Why the |? Why not strings? Can someone explain it?

2) The checksum seems to be a really rare one, is it MurMur Hash 3 with seed 0xABBA2345? I can't find a popular command line tool to verify it. I tried the "mmh3" Python module using `mmh3.hash128(c, seed=0xABBA2345)` (with c as the bytes from the file decoded and uncompressed) and couldn't reproduce the checksum. I guess this rare hash is fast, is it worst? I mean: we have various robust and popular hashes, why this?

BTW: I find strange that after choosing to embed fonts the dialog doesn't immediatly show them. They are there when I save, but I think they should be there before.

Regards, SET
