I doubt this is possible but, it is worth asking.
If you have a file closed on your computer,... lets call it FILE-X
you could copy and paste it and then rename the file outside
or
you could rename the file outside.

Is there any way to check if a file is renamed or duplicated first?

(I can log the path inside and have a before open macro or before save but I am trying to block outside name changes)
