There's also an issue with more than one dot in the filename. It's ok for 
windows, but not in the design manager. It works almost, but the cammanager 
does not work well. It creates a folder with the name of the pcb without 
the extension PCB. So far so good, but the design manager takes the part 
prior the first dot instead to cut the part after the last dot.
An example:
1046.1030.pcb results in a folder 1046 instead of 1046.1030

My numbering system looks like this: PPPP.IIII
PPPP: Project number
IIII: Item number

It's a small bug/issue, I can write the number without the dot, but it 
would be more clear.
