Qownnotes: creating multiple files in a script will overwrite each other

[schiessle]

Expected behaviour

I wrote a script to initialize a folder with two files. For reference the script can be found here: https://codeberg.org/bjoern/qownnote-scripts/src/branch/master/scripts/projectfolder/projectfolder.qml

I would expect that after calling the script two files "Overview.md" and "Next Steps.md" will be created.

Actual behaviour

Depending in the timing only "Next Step.md" will exists after running the script. This happens because initially the newly created file will have a filename like "Note 2019-10-30T21.32.42", then the content will be added and in a third step the file will be renamed according to the first line of the content. Before the rename took place the script already moved on to create the second file. If this is within the same second, the second file will be named "Note 2019-10-30T21.32.42" as well and overwrite the first file.

The problem could be solved if the file would be created directly with the final filename or allow the developer to specify a temporary filename as a second parameter when calling createNote()

Steps to reproduce

download my script and execute it in an empty folder.
