Issues with butler renaming playdate .pdx or .pdx.zip

I'm using butler to upload my playdate game. The playdate uses either a folder with the extension .pdx or a zip file of the folder .pdx.zip. When I try to upload a build of my game butler is extracting the zip files and renaming the folder and the resulting zip file. It would be great if I could set the name of the zip or tell butler not to do this. 

It breaks the sideloading on the playdate if the file/folder is named incorrectly and requires I ask my players to do extra work to play my game (or I only manually upload my game).

Is there anything I can do?

I just ran into this issue last week. Did you ever find a solution?

Unfortunately no. No solution yet.
