Lightroom no longer accepts a dot in the catalog filename.
I regularly use the 'export this folder as a catalog' feature to make catalog backups of certain subsets of my pictures. My naming convention has always been in the form of YYYMMDD.HHmm
With LightroomCC version 2015/9 (OS X version) I noticed that Lightroom now truncates the catalog name used after the dot, so it becomes 'YYYYMMDD'. This also happens when creating a new catalog through the File->New Catalog menu.
Is there a reason that this restriction on the catalog name has been introduced?

Agree with Michel, I also use date-time filenames, but I separate the date and time with a dash. It's been the convention for many, many years that . is used for separating the filename from the extension. It's a good convention that most computer users and programmers know about, so why do away with it because you don't want to observe the convention.
