If no title is passed to QuickUploadCapableFileFactory, a title is generated from the filename (browser/uploadcapable.py:64).

title = name.split('.')[0].replace('_',' ').replace('-',' ')

Everything after the first '.' is discarded, so if I upload a file "bla.some_important_text.pdf", the title is only "bla".
I would expect it to be "bla some important text". Changing the above line to

'.'.join(name.split('.')[:-1]).replace('_',' ').replace('-',' ').replace('.', ' ')

will do this.

Steps to reproduce:: Upload a file with multiple '.'s in the filename

Sorry, the full replacement line would of course be

title = '.'.join(name.split('.')[:-1]).replace('_',' ').replace('-',' ').replace('.', ' ')
