TC 9.21a (both 32 and 64 bit).

To do:
1. Start TC
2. Open Sync tool (any dir, no matter)
3. Compare dirs
4. Rename any file to get tailing dot (e.g. icon.ico -> icon., or icon.ico.old -> icon.ico.)

There we get 3 problems:
1. File get's proper name without tailing dot
2. Sync tool shows tailing dot
3. File is no more accessible until new compare action taken.

I confirm that TC sync tool doesn't filter filenames during rename, and it does still show trailing dots while Windows removes them from filenames on rename, so TC is unable to do something with this file because it assumes that it has another name.

Windows does not support trailing dots, sorry.

You can use GetFullPathName here before rename to get preprocessed file name that will be used by Windows rename function:

Code: Select all

wchar_t buf[MAX_PATH];
GetFullPathName(L"D:\\dir\\test.file.ext..   ...", MAX_PATH, buf, nullptr);
// --> L"D:\dir\test.file.ext"
