With action="rename" I would rather expect the tag to just do nothing if the source and destination are the same ( i.e. "it's already named that, therefore the task is complete" ), although I believe using CF 5 I've been able to use action="copy" and action="move" to replace existing destination files / directories using cffile and cfdirectory which I'm sure could have been accidental. In either case FileExists() and DirectoryExists() allow you to manage file overwrites, so ... I'd vie for maintaining the way it worked before, but I'm not about to spend huge amounts of energy campaigning for that. > So... I don't know. > I'll ask the product team folks...
