Sooooo.....

....since Jon's Commands no longer work under Snow Leopard....

....how does one rename a file? I've tried numerous variations on what WAS a simple activity but nothing seems to work.


Here's the latest of an hours worth of beating my head against the monitor....only to leave slobber all over it....

		set fileNameNew to (fileNameNew & mySuffix) as string -- new name for file
		
		set filePath to (srcFolder & fileName) as string -- path to file to be renamed
				
		set file name of file filePath to fileNameNew
