 I'm having an issue in #Obtainium that I'm not sure how to solve.

Example:

Tuta releases their app binaries under their git repo releases section.

I have that link in Obtainium and install their email app for Android. Cool. Updates and everything work well.

Today, Tuta decides to throw the binary for their new Tuta calendar app in the same releases section.

Obtainium thinks there is a new update for my email app, but figures out that there is a problem once I click to update. The error was actually quite helpful. It only took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on.

Where I'm stuck now is that there isn't really anything I know to do as a user.

I see a lot of settings related to the app title and regular expressions, but I have no idea what to put in that would include only the app I want from the release section.

On a side note, I wish release sections were used for single applications only. It gets confusing when repos start having a lot of different app binaries in a single release section. At least for me. Maybe I'm the problem and have been using Obtainium incorrectly. I have no idea.
