Easily change a filename while the file is being edited
Authored by: asmeurer on Mar 13, '09 09:45:27AM

I would try this before using it on something important. I think it works pretty standard in Cocoa applications, but you can get different results with different programs. For example, texmate will just change the name back for you, XCode will ask you if you want to resave the file (it's probably best to just close the file and then rename it if you are using XCode to edit it). The worst case scenario is that the program will crash because it can't "find" the file anymore. The same goes for moving a file while it is being edited.
