[MRT] Folders with "." and Extensions

[Balderstrom]

Somehow this does not seem correct to me

When you have something like:
--> A.Folder.With.Dots.In.It's.Name

Rename Mask: [N]
Ext: [E]

[x] Regexp

Find: ^A.Folder.With.Dots.In.It's.Name$
Replace: <Blank>

There is no match unless "[x] E" extension for the file is enabled.
As everything after the second period/dot is considered a file extension.

This doesn't even match CMD-line/batch rules, wherein the extension would be ".Name"

I would think that within the MRT folders should either:
1) Not have an extension at all, or
2) At least match CMD-line rules and the text after the last period would be the extension...

NOT all of the text/characters after the 2nd period.

Have you checked whether SortDirExt=1 has any effect on this MRT problem with folder names?

Indeed TC sees the last part of a folder after the last dot as the "extension" too - it's debatable whether this should be treated as an extension or not. It would probably break many stored rename masks if I would change it now...
