Hello, I'm creating this issue as a follow up on issue itchio/boar#5 as it was apparently done inn the wrong repo.
Games I submit have an all caps naming convention, but itch launcher does not detect .ZIP as valid zip files - the handling is done depending on the extension and the extension is not lowercased before checking (or the check is case sensitive).

I got a comment 2 days ago on one of my games that this is still a problem. Is someone already looking into it or should I?

I've never touched go in my life but I can try, has someone a clue to where that check could be ran ? 🙂

Thanks, have a good day

Laigter is distributed as a .AppImage file on Linux. The itch client doesn't know what to do with this:

I believe all it needs to do is download it, chmod +x it, and run it, which is what I did to get it working from the GitHub releases page manually.

Repeat of #1
Reason for repeat: issue was closed but not resolved
Why this should be implemented: .appimage files are ready to run across distributions and are a single file installation
How this can be implemented: don't stop install as there's nothing to install. It's an executable file all that needs to be done is copy the file to the game folder and "chmod +x" the file
Difficulty of implementation: Low. Again just copy and mark as executable

Potential issues: version tracking
Potential issue resolution: create a simple file in the game folder denoting the version

Games I've tried playing that won't install due to this issue: OneShot (.appimage) and Super Hexagon (no extension)
