I get the feeling, no one reads the original post :-(
To sum it up
- There is a file "foo" in the original location
- It has to be copied as "bar" to the target destination
- There is no file named "bar" allowed in the original location
so copy in original location, rename, move to target isn't an option
- There is no file "foo" allowed in the target location
so copy to target and rename isn't an option either
Now that I have re-read, I still think using the TemporaryItems
folder will work.
1. 'duplicate' file "foo" into TemporaryItems folder 'with replacing';
2. Change the name of /TemporaryItems/foo to /TemporaryItems/bar;
3. 'duplicate' /TemporaryItems/bar into your target location;
4. 'remove' or Trash the file /TemporaryItems/bar.
