Windows Package Manager upgrades full version to demo version

Hi, when I run winget upgrade in command prompt it thinks the demo version is an upgrade and it installs it.

Hello, thank you for the report! I have never used winget and I'm unsure how my application got in there 😅
I do see the package (including my Simplest File Renamer 🎉 ) here: https://winget.run/search?query=boris and it seems like it's labeled as a Demo ✅ which is good:
https://winget.run/pkg/whyboris/Video-Hub-App.Demo
Did you ever use winget to install Video Hub App (Demo), or did winget just auto-detect you had the software and decided to upgrade you? 😓
Looks like someone has come across this problem already 😅
But they don't have a resolution for it yet 😔

It just auto detected it (as it should, I think, as it also updates other paid software, such as syncbackfree pro, teracopy, etc. using the authors download links), it's a wonderful program, just not in this instance, that's why I reported it as I'm sure others will encounter this issue as it should handle ALL programs installed no matter if paid installed/demo programs. As for how to remedy it, I've no clue sorry. It was easily fixed on my end by reinstalling the normal version of VHA but the pending upgrade remains in winget.
I hope they resolve it as to me it looks like a simple fix/naming version convention or something?
I released version 3.2.0 with some adjustments to the naming convention -- so I think the demo will no longer try to overwrite the app installed with winget. But I was unsure how to (where to) set Publisher.Package when building the app - so it might not be as good as it should be 😓
Is this where it happens? https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/blob/main/electron-builder.json#L3 -- I looked around the electron-builder documentation and couldn't figure it out 😔
