Bug: Folders with dots in their name cannot be opened if compressed

[Jemtaly]

Description

When double-clicking a folder with a dot in its name in an archive, the "Open With" menu appears. It seems that this folder is considered a file.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a folder with a dot in its name, such as foo.bar.
2. Compress the folder to .zip (or .7z, .rar, .tar, ...) file.
3. Open the compressed file in Files.
4. Double-click the folder with a dot in its name.

Steps to fix

• Allow user to open folders with dots in their names
