Purpose
Hi,
In the effort to package OpenModelica as Flatpak here: #11777
I add an 256x256 icon of omedit and notebook which is simply a resized of 300x300 omedit.png using imagemagic.
The notebook icon is converted from .ico in GIMP into .png.
I create a desktop file which will serve as a desktop icon for Linux distro.
I also create a metainfo file which will be use to display information about openmodelica on a software store front such as Flathub which I will submit to.
At the moment, I am not certain where should I place desktop file and metainfo file in the directory. Let me know a better place for it.
I will be keeping openmodelica on Flathub update, but ideally, one of the main developer from openmodelica should have access to the Flathub git repo as well. So I try to invite someone when I submit a pull request to Flathub.
Here are general info on metainfo file: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html
Flathub: https://flathub.org/
