I have written json files for both KXStitch and SymbolEditor with the 
updates for index.json.

A few things I wasn't sure of though:

The "icon" field - SymbolEditor uses a svgz icon, can this be used or do 
I need to create a png of a particular size?

The "handbook" field - SymbolEditor has handbooks available in the 
extragear-graphics module [1], but it is under a heading
"Symbol Editor". If I try to create a link[2][3] or variants using 
SymbolEditor it shows a page saying the application was not found.  I 
don't know where the information in [1] is generated from so I don't 
know where to fix it.

The "parent" field - I have set this to extragear/graphics but is there 
an intention this should be changed to something else?

Apart from the two application json files and the change to index.json, 
are there any other files that need updating?  For example I notice 
there is an [application-name]_generated.json file in [4], is this 
automatically generated or do I need to create that as well?
