copy and then rename a file ?

[vpelletier]

hi from France,
i have a simple script for itunes that i would like to enhance just a bit.
The script copy files that are selected in itunes in a choosen folder.
What i would like to add to the script is renaming the new files after the copy, inside the repeat loop (this way i can access the ID3 tags of the current track).
Here is the code :

tell application “iTunes”
copy selection to mySelection
set choose_folder_prompt to (“Select a folder to copy the selected tracks to…”)
copy (choose folder with prompt choose_folder_prompt) to new_site
repeat with aFile in mySelection
copy (get aFile’s location) to this_files_path
tell me to move_it(this_files_path, new_site)
end repeat
end tell

to move_it(this_files_path, new_site)
tell application “Finder”
duplicate file this_files_path to folder new_site with replacing
end tell
end move_it

thanks for your help

Maybe this will work.

to move_it(this_files_path, new_site)
	tell application "Finder"
		set dupe_ to duplicate file this_files_path to folder new_site with replacing
		set name of dupe_ to "whatever"
	end tell
end move_it
