<p>What are the expected future uses of the dot?</p>

<p>Another approach would be to just remove the warning and allow either dotted or un-dotted extensions to be used, since it's extremely unlikely anyone will intentionally be wanting to handle plugin files in Geany's plugin dir like <code>theplugin..so</code>.</p>

<p>In any case, I'm fine with this PR. I actually paste-binned an almost identical patch to <a href="https://github.com/kugel-" class="user-mention">@kugel-</a> the other day on IRC when we were discussing this.</p>
