When a folder ends with a single or multiple dots as in "Enya - 2008 - And Winter Came..." then Mp3Tag will not open the folder. The result is a silent fail - nothing happens.

This is a limitation of Mp3tag being a native Windows application (so far...). In Windows, directory names cannot end with a dot.

I'll mark this as "No Bug" as I have no plans of addressing this issue.

Kind regards
