I have pizzatower.exe in the parent dir of library:
library/Pizza Tower/PizzaTower.exe

however the admin webui doesn't allow me to select the parent dir, only subfolders:

Image and therefore i can't select the pizzatower.exe itself. Is this expected?

GL on the project!

Are you using a Filesystem or FlatFilesystem provider? Drop, by default, uses versions games by subfolder, which is what you're seeing here. You probably want to re-create your library source, you can read more about different kind of library sources here: https://docs.droposs.org/docs/library
