Application Name in v5 with a strange dash - inside

Dear colleagues,
I am a long-term user of v4 using "patchmypc.exe" and this is the default application (i.e. program) name of v4.
In release 5 you change that in "PatchMyPC-HomeUpdater.exe" with a strange dash inside the name - IMHO it
should be shorter and smoother like "PatchMyPC5.exe" or "PatchMyPCX.exe" (x=extended, v5).
v5 (5.001) seems to be already in a "RTM" stage. No obstacles or errors so far updating a couple of outdated apps.

Greetings Ronald

Can't really see an upside to renaming the executable...

Most folks are just going to click on a Desktop shortcut, or the Start menu entry, and run the app.

They won't really care what the EXE is called.

This is mainly because we have several Patch My PC applications, and they all have the same format now: "PatchMyPC-AppName.exe"

Ok, understandable if you have a series of applications

Thanks for the clarification, Omar!
BTW: I am not happy with the - as your delimiter but it will work
