File with two dots in name can be uploaded, but not deleted

Bug report

Summary

The MODX media-manager allows uploading of files with two dots ("..") in the filename, but deleting it is impossible.

Step to reproduce

Create a txt-file with the name datei-mit_zwei..punkten.txt. Upload it via media-manager. Try to delete it afterwards.

Observed behavior

Trying to delete it throws an error: (the error says: "Please provide a valid directory")

Expected behavior

It should either not allow uploading such files in the first place, or if it does, make sure it can be deleted.

Environment

MODX 2.7.0-pl

Same story for files uploaded with "?" or "&" in the file name. Isn't there some way we can prevent bad characters from being used in upload file names?

Just tested it in v2.8.5 and v3.0.2.

It still doesn't work. The original filename is: datei-mit-2..-punkten.txt

In v2.8.5 it doesn't find the file and it looks like it strips both dots .. from the filename. It also looks like MODX thinks it is a directory.

In v3.0.2 it doesn't find the file and it looks like it strips one dot . from the filename.
