Copy and rename a file instead of moving it

[GNeulaender]

I'm new to Templater (and Obsidian as a whole) and have been struggling to workout the tp.obsidian commands.

Is there a way to copy a file from one folder to another instead of moving it?

You can use tp.file.create_new and give it the current file's contents (tp.file.content) to do this.

<%*
const folder = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("FOLDERNAME");
await tp.file.create_new(tp.file.content, "FILENAME", false, folder);
-%>

I don't think it would fit my needs. I actually want to copy and rename a PDF file, having a version per node.

I do think now I found a solution using some of your code. Thanks for the help!

<%*
const reference_file = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath("FILEPATH");
const current_file = tp.file.path(true);
const new_file = file.substring(0,file.length - 3) + ".pdf";
await app.vault.copy(reference_file, new_file);
-%>
