Add
-Installer
and-portable
to release asset filenames + remember and reuse the installer type from last time.Detailed description of the feature request
My first suggestion is to insert
-Installer
and-portable
to the Release asset filenames (moving the architecture part to the end) to make them more distinguishable, for example:rssguard-4.8.0-e24f4575a-win10.exe
rssguard-4.8.0-e24f4575a-win10.7z
rssguard-4.8.0-e24f4575a-Installer-win10.exe
rssguard-4.8.0-e24f4575a-portable-win10.7z
I have in mind e.g. the Notepad++ and Subtitle Edit repos:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases
https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases
