Bug Description

UI @ Preferences -> adding Bookks -> Automatic Adding : Specify a Folder

Will accept the path: E:\folder\subfolder\.leaffolder

Will not automatic add books dropped in that folder (after restart of course)
Does not issue warning or error

Works fine with E:\folder\subfolder\leaffolder

This should work, is otherwise undocumented AFAIK if intentional.

Windows 10 Anniversary x64
Calibre 2.70 x64
