amc script rename step optimization

[queimadus]

The default behaviour of the rename step is to use what was specified in the --action argument.

But even if the user specified copy as that action, when temporary files are created (e.g. the target was a zip file instead of a singular video file), this can be optimized to a move if cleanis enabled since it will be deleted afterwards anyhow.

This would avoid doing an unnecessary copy.

If input/output are on different filesystems, you won't get around making a physical copy.
If input/output are on the same filesystem then you should be using --action hardlink anyway.

The --action duplicate option is used in all examples to avoid the inefficiencies of physical copy operations if avoidable.

I was unaware of --action duplicate. It completely mitigates the issue at hand.

Thanks 👍
