Bug Description

In my .vscode/settings.json I have changed the name for the mez file:

"powerquery.sdk.defaultExtension": "${workspaceFolder}\\bin\\AnyCPU\\Debug\\NotSameNameAsDirectory.mez",

I have also changed my .proj file PropertyGroup

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputPath Condition="'$(OutputPath)' == ''">$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\bin\AnyCPU\Debug\</OutputPath>
    <IntermediateOutputPath Condition="'$(IntermediateOutputPath)' == ''">$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\obj\</IntermediateOutputPath>
    <MezIntermediatePath>$(IntermediateOutputPath)MEZ\</MezIntermediatePath>
    <MezOutputPath>$(OutputPath)NotSameAsDirectory.mez</MezOutputPath>
  </PropertyGroup>

However, when I run the build task MakePBX the generated mez file name is the parent directories name.

Steps to Reproduce

Create new extension project, in a folder called bug-folder
update the .vscode/settings.json to have a new mez file name, CoolName.mez
update the .proj file and change the MezOutputPath to also have the CoolName.mez

Actual Experience

bug-folder.mez is created instead of CoolName.mez
