Hi readLock is a locking feature. This comes before any processing of the file. At first Camel needs to obtain a lock on the file. For that you can use different locking strategies. One of these is readLock=rename. This will do a IO rename of the file, and then rename the file back again. This is based on the assumption a lock can be obtained on the file, if you could do a IO rename on the file.
preMove is part of the process where Camel got the read lock on the file, and is about to process the file. The preMove option will just move the file *before* the file is processed. For example some use cases requires you to move in progress files to a specific folder etc. This is what you can use this option for.
