I am attempting to move a file into the temp folder.
I get a folderItem for a file inside the temp folder. This folderItem
doesn't exist.
I do foo.MoveFileTo theTempFileThatDoesntExist
This gives me a foo.LastErrorCode = 105 ("Invalid name") and the file
doesn't move.
I *hypothesize* that I can only move a file to a folder, not to a
file. I can sometimes get moving to a file to work, but I sometimes
get the 105 (can't find a pattern).
So then I try to do:
foo.MoveFileTo TheTempFileThatDoesntExist.Parent
too.Name = TheTempFileThatDoesntExist.Name
And this works on the Mac but fails on Windows. Sometimes...
I've wound up doing a #If TargetMacOS that does the the two-step move-
rename on the Mac and the single-step move on Windows, and that
appears to work.
Is this all just sadly inconsistent between platforms, or am I
missing something, or what?
