The base name placeholder is incorrectly generated if a filename has more than one "full stop" (period).

Using $(ib) in User Data's Description field, then in the Skin Editor, in a text box, using ID: $(ud)

My filename is: 2020-06-24_16.18.54.jpg
$(ud) displays: 2020-06-24_16
It should display: 2020-06-24_16.18.54

Hi,
Anything after the first period is thought to be file type and is ignored.
I know this is not an answer but having periods in a file path is not good practice.
We will have a look at this but also consider a better naming convention.
