Leave one .exe extension in the file name after unpacking. #24

Closed oldman777 closed 4 years ago

oldman777 commented 5 years ago

The .exe extension is hidden in Windows, and this is what creates confusion for many people. As a result, the extension .exe remains twice, after renaming - "EXAMPLE.exe.exe". Now "EXAMPLE.exe" after unpacking "EXAMPLE.exe.unpacked.exe". Is it possible to change the file name after unpacking to "EXAMPLE.unpacked.exe"? This would prevent a bunch of questions about renaming.

I'd rather keep the renaming. It prevents one from accidentally overwriting your original executable.

Accidentally overwriting "EXAMPLE.exe" by "EXAMPLE.unpacked.exe"?

I haven't had/gotten 'a bunch of questions' about renaming overall. Very rarely actually. Most people that have an interest in using Steamless are generally those that have some sort of interest in reverse engineering or modding. In that sense, most are aware of how to enable visible file extensions on Windows.

Personally, I don't see this is an issue or something I'd be interested in changing.
