I'm curious as to why it should be added. Are there any sanitization problems caused by such names?
Writing such names is standard behavior in various Linux distributions.
Here are a few examples:
- tar generates files such as foo.tar.gz, foo.tar.xz, and so forth.
- renaming foo.log into foo.log.2 or foo.log.old is standard procedure.
From a short look in the FreeBSD man page of the tar utility, the same behavior is displayed:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tar&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+11.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html
Even the windows graphic file manager such (re)naming is allowed, and it's a stickler for naming conventions.

The reason is simple: I don't like the many dots in filenames. I like filename_without_any_dot.extension

@dharple , is it possible to use custom sequence for such s task?
To me it seems more fitting to add such a sequence instead of adding such a functionality, especially since as a user I personally prefer the program not to make cosmetic decisions for me.

Hi,
It's been a while, but I don't recall adding functionality for this. The "." in UNIX has special meaning. Might I suggest the utility called "rename" instead? It supports regular expressions, and you should be able to match on the last period and replace all others.
Cheers

Sad :( I know the rename package and I use it. But would be easier use only one tool (detox) instead two tools.
Thanks for your work!
