I specified that if the generated folder name is too long, truncate it and end it with three dots.

During QA the dots were missing, so I thought the dev missed that requirement.

Turns out #Windows eats the dots, you can't even rename the folder manually -- any dots at the end are eaten, same with whitespace.

Saying that it treats the dots like whitespace made me want to try something.

Are dots and whitespace trimmed the same? I tried renaming the folder to blabla space dot space dot space dot (`blabla . . .`).

It came out showing blabla space dot! Half-eaten! But when I entered the folder or refreshed the parent folder, the last space dot vanished.
