Ironically, I never was able to reconstruct your error, the script
always simply failed, or worked for either "test" or "test.jpg". (I
dislike situations like this, in which I am unsure whether to put the
period inside the quotation marks or not. Inside of the quotation
marks it spoils the literal nature of the contained text. Outside, it
breaks the convention that periods come before quotation marks.)
When convention interferes with clarity and accuracy, convention goes
outside the window.
Besides, it is not a universal convention; the British put the period
outside the quotation marks unless a complete sentence is being quoted.
