Thank you for the report!

I’ve looked into this behaviour and can confirm that the Linux version of the itch app just… doesn’t automatically extract the downloaded zip file for some reason, despite it downloading perfectly fine with no errors. (※ Tested in a VM running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.)

I’m not entirely sure why it’s doing this, considering that the zip file for Please Be Happy (as well as all our other games) is just a bog standard zip file as generated by the zip CLI utility, and is not anything strange or otherwise non-standard. (※ Specifically, the invocation I use is zip -x "*DS_Store*" -9r)

I’ll try to look into the source code of the itch app to see what exactly is going on, as it does seem like it’s an issue on the itch app’s side — hopefully I can figure out what’s going on.

Apologies that I don’t have a better answer for you at this time, but I thought I’d keep you updated on the current situation!

Apologies for the inconvenience, and as always. thank you so much for supporting Studio Élan…!

Hmmm, well that's very weird, but thank you for looking into this. At least the bug is reproducible?
