Since some files I download have very long filenames I have set the "folder_max_length" setting to 40 in the special settings.
Unfortunately, this causes some folder names in SABnzbd's incomplete directory to end with a dot (.), and they can't be removed afterwards unless I do it manually in command prompt. SAB doesn't remove them after unpacking either.
Ex: "Stephen.Colbert.2017.02.15.Bob.Odenkirk."
I've enabled "replace dots with spaces in folder names" in the options panel, but I guess this only applies to folders after unpacking and moving, not the initial incomplete-directories.
I'm using SABnzbd 2.0.0Alpha1 on 64 bit Windows 10. This behavior is not new in the Alpha, it happened in earlier versions as well.

Interesting, I never had this situation but of course shouldn't happen.
Will fix for the next release.

Thanks! Don't know if it is something SABnzbd does wrong or that is caused by me using Sonarr to automatically download series like this.
