I'm trying to have tvnamer rename the file and copy it to a new directory without changing the name of the original file. The description for always_move said it would leave the original file intact when set to false, however, that doesn't happen.
The program currently works likes this:
-detect show from original file
-renames it in place.
-copies to new directory

I saw in this issue #78, ducapedia mentions that creating a copy, renaming it and then moving adds significant time to the process. Obviously, you guys have since changed the process so that it renames in place (as seen in my bullet points above). My method should allow us to keep the original and not have the long copy times.

So, we could do something like
-detect show
-copy original to new directory
-rename the copied file

This would leave the original file alone so that it may still be access by for ex, a torrent client.
