Question

I have a photo named ".jpg" ( nothing before the dot )

When Lightroom Classic tries to synchronize the folder with this photo, it never stops running.

OS : Windows 11

Lightroom Classic 12.0.1

Is there any reason for not changing the file name? Can you see this image in a finder window or in Photoshop?

No reason. I changed the file name and it fixed the problem on my side.
But some other users could spend lots of time trying to figure out what happens
IMHO it's a bug and needs to be fixed

Why would you ever have a file with no name, just a extension. Not a Adobe bug, perhaps a user bug. Defiantly a OS bug to allow that.
