Renaming SC files

[David Jondreau]

Is there a good way to rename files? And did the behavior of SCMove() change recently.

A few months ago, I was testing using SCMove() to rename a file SCMove by using the same filepath for the old and new paths, but adding a filename parameter SCMove ( filepath ; filepath ; new.filename ). I thought I had it working ok. I let the project sit for a couple months and just came back to it and now it's not working.

I'm second guessing myself that I ever had it working in the first place. But it looks like SCMove() may have changed, now accepting key/value pairs rather than just a filename. I've tried it both the old way and with filename= and neither works.

My goal is to rename the file. Is there a better approach?

 

Related for my purposes...does SCMove() delete the old filepath's folders? Or are they still there in the filesystem?

 

Thanks!

The SuperContainer functions have no changed for a long time.

You can view plugin documentation here: http://static.360works.com/plugins/SuperContainer/plugin-documentation.html

In the case of changing the file name, I think you're looking for "filename=New Filename.txt" as your third parameter.
