How can I change the filename of release files?

I need help. I’ve created a new release of my tool and the zip files were created successfully. I can now download them via this URL:

https://gitlab.xxx.de/xxx-development/xxx-helper/-/archive/v1.0.0/xxx-helper-v1.0.0.zip

The problem is that I need to remove the -v1.0.0 somehow from the file name of the zip file because otherwise a target system creates a folder with the version in the name which makes huge problems. So at least I need this structure:

https://gitlab.xxx.de/xxx-development/xxx-helper/-/archive/v1.0.0/xxx-helper.zip

How can I do this?

Currently, the filename format of project-tagname.ext is ingrained in all the parts of code that power the archive downloads and is inflexible.

Such a requirement would need to be a logged as a feature request.

Unsure how much control you have over the target system in question, but perhaps you can adjust the way it extracts the archive or post-process it.

I have the same request on an instance that is my own (can modify any part).

How can I modify the filename of the release?

Additionally (later on), I would like to modify the zip procedure, the specifically determine the order in which the files are zipped. Is that possible?

Thank you for the awesome software and the cool support on this forum!

Hi there,

is there any update on this topic? It would even work if just the main folder which gets extracted from the ZIP would not have the tag as a slug at the end like the version. It makes things so much harder for us and required additional work like building our own ZIP file and all that stuff.

Regards
