BUG: Hidden (".name" dirs) directories not being handled properly...

[fstltna]

I have a app that creates "." directories like ".foodir/test" etc and when jdownloads scans it, it properly ignores the directory and doesn't add it to the database. But when it gets to the file add step it tries to add the files but fails as expected, since the directory doesn't exist in the database. Can you fix it so that the file scan ignores "." folder trees like the directory scan does?

Maybe could you try this fix below?
Copy the (unzipped) file via FTP to this folder: /administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers and try afterwards the scan process again. Thanks!
