I would like to rename a file that is in this path
Applications / Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 / Presets / Scripts / text.jsx

this is the script

use mac ios
I don't know where the mistake is.

main();
function main(){
var doc  =  new File('~/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Scripts/test.jsx')
if(!doc.exists) return;

var Name = "test";
doc.rename(Name +  "_1.jsx");
}

Actions and scripting

Correct answer Test Screen Name

Is the file really in ~/Applications rather than /Applications? In fact shouldn't it be in ~/Library you are looking?

Please try this in a command prompt. Type

ls "$HOME/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Scripts/test.jsx"

What do you see?

If I remember well, extendscript rename doesn't work for OSX.

If rename does not work you may need to test that "~/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Scripts/" + Name + "_1.jsx" does not exist. Copy '~/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Scripts/test.jsx' to
"~/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Scripts/" + Name + "_1.jsx"
then delete remove file '~/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Scripts/test.jsx'
