Fair enough.



Although I would have done a copy instead of a rename.



And edited the copy next time it needed editing.  Just habit I guess.



I got to teach my habit to my son when he moving files from a USB stick 

to his laptop.  Midway it failed, and he lost half of files.  I told him 

never do a move, always do a copy.



(Although this is just one file, the chance for failure in the middle of 

a rename is very very small.)
