I have a little problem with my footnotes and using package glossaries-extra. I'm using a solution (see here) to add a period at the end of every \footnote{} (yes, I have to use \footnote{} and not \footcite{} because I have to add some text in my footnotes, too) and most of the time it works fine. But when I'm using an abbreviation (\gls{}) which ends with a period at the end of a sentence in a footnote it doesn't work. I'll get two periods. I have no clue how to solve this problem. Hopefully, someone could help me. (I had a similiar question but with package acro [see here].)

MWE:

\documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrbook}
\KOMAoptions{twoside=false}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[style=german-legal-book]{biblatex}
\setmainfont{ebgaramond}[]
\usepackage[style=long,nogroupskip,nonumberlist]{glossaries-extra}
\setabbreviationstyle{short-nolong}
\glssetcategoryattribute{abbreviation}{noshortplural}{true}
\glssetcategoryattribute{abbreviationdot}{discardperiod}{true}
%
\newabbreviation[%
     description={mit weiteren/m Nachweisen/Nachweis},%Darstellung der longform im Abkürzungsverzeichnis
     category=abbreviationdot,%
     longplural={mit weiteren Nachweisen},%
     shortplural=m.~w.~N.,
     sort={mwN},%
     ]%
     {mwN}%key
     {m.~w.~N.}%shortform
     {mit weiterem Nachweis}%longform

%automatic final period in footnote

     \ifnum\the\spacefactor=\blx@sf@period
     \else
     .%
     \fi
   \fi}
\makeatother

I found a solution which seems to work. It's based on this issue.

MWE:

\documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt] {scrbook}
\KOMAoptions{twoside=false}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[german=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage[style=german-legal-book]{biblatex}
\setmainfont{ebgaramond}[]
\usepackage[style=long,nogroupskip,nonumberlist]{glossaries-extra}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\setabbreviationstyle{short-nolong}
\glssetcategoryattribute{abbreviation}{noshortplural}{true}
\glssetcategoryattribute{abbreviationdot}{discardperiod}{true}

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\addperiod}{\blx@imc@addperiod}

\makeatother


\makeatletter
\protected\def\blx@imc@addperiod{%
  \ifnum\blx@spacefactor=999
    @%
  \fi
  \blx@addpunct{period}%
  \ifnum\blx@spacefactor=\blx@sf@dot
    \spacefactor\blx@sf@period
  \fi}


\makeatother
%automatic final period in footnote
\makeatletter%
\long\def@makefntext#1{%

  \hangindent = 1.7em%
  \hangafter = 1%
