Exif Info on Files with No Extension

This feature disappeared some time ago, a year at least, could be more?

So, if I had say... a font file without the OTT or TTF extension Advanced Renamer still provided EXIF info so I could name with the proper extension (lower case I might add).

So, it's gone. ExifTool can still produce the exifdata by adding a *. as the file name.

Is there something I can do to get that feature back?

cheers!
