Nah, that always creates a usually useless directory and also always 
creates the temporaryfile-on-start-copy. Both is not useful on non-Windows 
systems.

Better:
a) Temporary filename is final name+".tmp".
b) Do the move as is done now. When move fails, leave the tmp file.
c) On start check if there is a temp file and move it when possible.
    If not, inform the user.
