Similar here with first period omitted.  jr.Kernel.Mod rather than
jrKernel.Mod facilitates automated processing of file names?  Another
benefit?

In absence of potential ambiguity I omit the prefix.
Some files have multiple levels of suffix.  Eg.
Sunset2023.01.03.jpg
Sunset2023.02.13.jpg
Sunset2023.02.17.jpg

Prohibition of multiple periods suggested by HyperGaruda seems
unnecessary. (?)

Thanks,                                  ... P.
