Prevent dot-prefixed filename

Use case or problem

Sometimes users might create a file and give it a username with a dot in it. Under OSX and unix this makes it a hidden file. The file then becomes unusable in Ob, and might confuse the user who didn’t know about this OS quirk.

Proposed solution

Prevent filenames that start with a dot.
