proxemics

Without meaning to hijack the thread, but I’m assuming this Workflow is not well maintained, as evidenced by the last update dates in the repo and users having to post the required fixes in text.

I have a Workflow that does the same thing. I have no idea if it works the same to this one interface-wise — until now I didn’t even know this one existed. But some of you may want to try it as it’s well-maintained (and will continue to be for the foreseeable future), and particularly you @proxemics, as it hides the extension when asking for the new name.

This is great, thank you so much!
 
One question, I am trying to augment this to duplicate a file first before renaming it. I am able to duplicate the file, but I can't figure out how to rename the duplicated file, it always renames the original file? Is there a simple one to do duplicate the file first and rename the duplicate?
 
thanks so much!
--------------------
Update: I was able to find a work around by creating a hotkey for this workflow, and then creating a separate workflow that executes a key combo to duplicate a file, then another key combo for this workflows hotkey. Whew. Bit of a round about, but it works! I was also able to make a tiny edit to the bash script to remove the 'copy' in the duplicated file name as well. Thanks again for the great workflow!
