STM32CubeProgrammer 2.10.0 and 2.11.0 External loader bug: if the EL's filename has more tha one dot (one dot only for its extension name) STM32CubeProgrammer goes in error.

If the name (filename) of module has more than one dot ( "." ) the STM32CubeProgrammer can list it in the external loder (EL) selection, but when STM32CubeProgrammer tries to use the module it fails (it generates an error).

For example this EL name generates the error: EN25Q40_MT447R2_2.0.0.stldr

the same file renamed into EN25Q40_MT447R2.stldr (removing all dots) works.

Hello @Gianluca Costa,

STM32CubeProgrammer should accept more than one dot in EL file name.

I will raise this issue internally to fix it in future release.

Always best to avoid any "weirdness" in file (including folder) names

It's an age-old problem:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
