P: Batch is removing parts of names after . in name

when running a batch to save as a jpg from tif files, anything with a (.--) is removed....
For example, file ABCD23.5.tif is saved as ABCD23.jpg, so .5 is removed... and other files are skipped or not processed at all.... previous versions has no issue with this... but when running an action while the file is opened, it is saving with a .5, but with thousands of image, i can't be opening them all as opposed to running a batch. Something done different from previous version?

This was fixed in 21.1 or later.

No - but I have just opened PS and found it so I'll give it a try. Thank you.

Hi, Carol, did you try Image Processor as a possible workaround?

Perhaps some one from Adobe could reply to this as they say they monitor these posts?

Does PS take account of Windows 10 maximum file lengths (when folder names are included)? PS Batch processing is truncating my file names but I am using a series of nested folders (more than before when I haven;t had an issue) which could be making the jpg filenames total folder+filename length longer than Windows allows.

This should be fixed in the 21.1 update that went out last night.

So why you don't fix also this bug? I'd like to update PS, but I can't, because I need the saving through Action runs properly...

We very much monitor and fix issues reported here. You can see a running list here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html#photoshop-desktop-fixed-issues

The last update was primarily to enable the Hardened Runtime capability to support Apple's notarization requirements for macOS apps and fix the top crashing item for Windows with Select Subject.

Just updated to photoshop ver 21.0.3 and the problem persists. 
It seems that Adobe does not monitor these forums or take any actions to address the issues raised in them.
So what's the point?
Getting very fed up with Adobe. they have buildings full of well paid engineers, what are they doing?
