Thanks for your report.

Hmm, that's an interesting problem!

If I understand you correctly, a workaround would be to go to
Preferences -> File Filters and there check "Disable File Filtering".
This will of course show all files in the folder, but it means that it
will also allow to show files without a file extension, and thus file
images without a file extension. 

I have tested to rename a .png file to a filename without a file
extension, and that will show properly if I disable the filtering
described above, and doesn't show at all in geeqie before doing that.

If I am correct, in your case, the file doesn't show in the geeqie
filelist even after you have started geeqie, right?
