Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Upload a file
2. Download it
3. Inspect the "Save as type" field (known as the file extension filter)

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

For a single full stop, allowing the filter to function correctly.

#### What happened instead?

This prevents the file explorer from finding related files, as it's searching for `..pdf` files rather than `.pdf` files.

Windows 10

### Application version
