When uploading a file (attachment) to WP (posts or else) and said file has
dots in its name (like it is the case for Screenshots) then the File URL
becomes something like
`https://site.tld/wp-
content/uploads/Screenshot-2021-09-03-at-13.10.46.png`
While that is expected perhaps WP Could check if there are dots in the
filename and either replace them by a dash or fully reject the upload.
Dots in the filename create issues when creating download links, for
example, where then the downloaded attachment ends up being a format of
"46", instead of "png", taken in above example.
It should be great if this can be avoided, as dots in filenames are likely
not a good idea to have anyway, but telling that the consumers is rather a
exorbitant and almost impossible task.
Of course we could validate uploads on our own, however I think it would
be a good thing to have directly in the media uploader.
Happy to stand corrected :)
