Periods (.) stripped from file name?

[samsonpablo]

I've noticed that multiple periods occurring before the file extension are converted to underscores even though they are not present in forbiden_fname_char. Most of the images we have are of the format AA.BB.CCCCC.png where AA.BB.CCCCC is a unique identifier. It would be handy to be able to search for AA.BB.CCCCC in the search function, searching filenames but this does not seen to work since AA.BB.CCCCC.png is converted to AA_BB_CCCCC.png.

Any pointers on modifying this behavior?

Have a look at the function replace_forbidden in include/functions.inc.php. I haven't tested that, but I think it should work when you delete/comment out the following code block:

Code Select Expand

    /**
     * Fix the obscure, misdocumented "feature" in Apache that causes the server
     * to process the last "valid" extension in the filename (rar exploit): replace all
     * dots in the filename except the last one with an underscore.
     */
    // This could be concatenated into a more efficient string later, keeping it in three
    // lines for better readability for now.
    $extension = ltrim(substr($return, strrpos($return, '.')), '.');

    $filenameWithoutExtension = str_replace('.' . $extension, '', $return);

    $return = str_replace('.', '_', $filenameWithoutExtension) . '.' . $extension;

Ah, beautiful. Works good for what I'm doing. I didn't get down to that part of the function, I was obsessing over the first 20 lines  Thank you.
