Description Alex Solanos 2011-03-07 11:55:10 UTC 
To reproduce the bug:
Make a file named
one.two.three
Copy-paste it into the same directory. It will be created a file named
one(copy).two.tree
This means that checks for the first dot when it should check for the last one and place before it the dot.

Your request makes sense to me. In general, file extensions can't contain dots -- therefore all dots except the last should be considered part of the file's basename. This is what the views' rename code already does.

The attached patch fixes this problem. I hope I haven't overlooked anything :-)

Please review.

This bug is an old one and it's been discussed a lot, but that patch isn't sufficient for all cases, e.g. filename.tar.gz, which actually "breaks" those files for the "average user".
