Bug description

Creating a ZIP archive fails with no error or warning when the output filename contains an additional dot before the .zip extension.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create (or rename) a file to include a dot in the “base” name, not just the extension. Example: test_v1.2.html
  2. In the file manager (Nemo), right-click the file and select Compress….

In the compress dialog:

  1. Set Format to .zip
  2. Choose a destination folder
  3. Set the archive name to something with a dot in it, for example: system_v5.3.zip
  4. Click Create

Expected behavior

ZIP file is created (or an error shown explaining what’s wrong).
