How do I copy & move a file to a folder in Google Apps Script?

Question

Is there a way to copy and rename a file and move that copy to a particular folder without having a second copy in the root folder? I have used combinations of copy, rename, move in different order, but each time, I still end up with a copy of the renamed file the root drive. Is this by default? It is annoying to say the least.

Accepted Answer

In the new version of google apps script all you need to acheive your task is the following:

```
file.makeCopy("new name", folder);
```
