Folders starting with '.' get dropped from Grimmory

[mindofbeholder]

What went wrong?

I added the series ".hackXXXX" to my library. I have my library organized into series folders. When the series folder is created and the books are moved into it, the books are dropped from the library on next scan.

How can we reproduce it?

1. Organize your library with the series in the folder path
2. Add the series ".hackXXXX"
3. Assign books to the series
4. Organize the books through Grimmory, thereby moving the books into the series folder
5. Trigger/wait for a rescan

Folders starting with . are considered hidden folders for almost all linux filesystems, so yes, we ignore them intentionally.
