Files without extension cannot have one added

Problem

I imported a bunch of music in files without extensions. They import, and the files are renamed, but none of them have an extension, which makes them unacceptable for playing in some players.

Adding the $format symbol to the path: configurations don’t work properly, and no extension is added when all the files are targeted with the move command.

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv mv -p "Multi Muysic"
user configuration: /home/egon/.config/beets/config.yaml
data directory: /home/egon/.config/beets
plugin paths:
Sending event: pluginload
library database: /home/egon/.config/beets/library.db
library directory: /music/beets
Sending event: library_opened
Moving 0 items (8 already in place).
Sending event: cli_exit

Led to this problem:

Moving 0 items (8 already in place).

Here’s a link to the music files that trigger the bug (if relevant):

The filenames are the problem, not the content of the filenames

beet ls "Multi Muysic" --path
/music/beets/A-D/Aavikko/Multi Muysic/01 Synchro Start

If the main program’s goal is to preserve extension, and not mess with them, then moving this kind of case to a plugin seems like the most desired path. It was unclear that $format isn’t meant to specify an extension for a file.

This is probably an edge case I’ve discovered. There may be an interaction with any naming format that wants to have more than one .SOMETING in the last portion of the name path, but that wouldn’t be a legal name in all filesystems, so maybe it’s just not supported.

I will investigate a plugin.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
