Michelle's version didn't move anything into the trash at all, but left the
folder in temporary items folder, which is not a problem at all and why we
have a temporary items folder in the first place and also why Michelle (I
think) first recommended using temporary items as a solution for this
thread.

Exactly. And because there was an objection to the fact that there might be a name conflict (although such a possibility is extremely remote), I modified the script to create a uniquely named folder into which to place the file.


The Temporary Items Folder is hidden, so there's no surprises for the user, and the system handles that folder, so the script doesn't have to do any cleanup.

It addresses every one of Skeeve's concerns and objections, and is clean by any rational definition.
