Issue Importing Nucleo-144 Development Board into KiCad on Linux

Carter12s

Trying to report a minor issue with published development board design files.

The files fail to import into KiCad on Linux with a fairly cryptic error message.

After much digging I discovered that the Altium project file has: 

```

[Document1]
DocumentPath=Project_Overview.SchDoc

```

While the actual file on disk in zip archive is "Project_overview.SchDoc" the difference in capitalization between "Overview" and "overview" causes the files to not open correctly on Linux (which is case sensitive about file paths), while working on Windows. I suspect someone re-named the file at somepoint without fixing all references to it.

Re-naming the file, or editing the .PrjPcb file fixes the issue, but this is non-obvious.
