because there is a bg.jpg file conflict

Why is there a conflict? Which process is locking the file?

When the file is locked, it doesn't matter what steps you take - you cannot rename or overwrite it.

when loading the plane the script is executed the image is renamed to bg.jpg but it is deleted

Did you see that I've changed the command in the script? It must be COPYFILE.

(and not MOVEFILE, obviously)

no better

if I run the script with the test button it works

but when loading the plane the AFR.jpg file is renamed to bg.jpg but it is deleted

sorry I was wrong
I'll come back after the test

it works very well
remains to delete the bg.jpg file after loading the plane

Why do you want to do that? COPYFILE will overwrite it, when it can. When/if the file is locked by the Fenix process, you cannot delete it either. 

Anyway, on the AAO RPN editor there is a button called "Insert AAO cmd" where you can get all the special RPN commands that only exist in AAO. And use the AAO manual (click on the grey question mark button at the top of the AAO windows), everything is in there. Like for example "(DELETEFILE:xxxx)"

congratulations again for your help

I'm sorry, but I am really lost. I don't understand the problem that you are seeing, what that "conflict" is supposed to be or what process you are following with your steps exactly. It seems to me that even the point when "my" script is executed is not when I thought that it would run.

I'm afraid that this makes it impossible to suggest any code.

here is the complete code for anyone who wants to do the same thing
copy your images to the folder C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim A320\efb\img

you must first load a wallpaper with the name bg.jpg see the procedure on the Fenix website

rename your wallpaper with the icao airline code

A big thank you to Olivier Mr. AAO for his help (my name is also Olivier :))

load the script with Aircraft Automated Script page 65 of the manual

(LOAD_SIMBRIEF)·(SPLIT:2500)·
'C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim·A320\efb\img\'·(L:simbrief.general.icao_airline,·String)·scat·'.jpg'·scat·'C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim·A320\efb\img\bg.jpg'·(COPYFILE:%s1|%s2)
(SPLIT:20000)·
'C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim·A320\efb\img\bg.jpg'·(DELETEFILE:%s1)·

I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. 

I'm running the script and it indeed identifies the code and creates a correct copy named bg.jpg. However, the efb screen itself does not refresh from the default background AND a few seconds after running the script the bg.jpg is deleted.

Any clue to what went wrong?

Sorry, but I'm not doing any of that myself. Please consider sending @ptimale a personal message.

Hi

before using the script, you must load a wallpaper with an image called bg.jpg

you will see that by default it is automatically saved in the folder C:\ProgramData\Fenix\FenixSim·A320\efb\img\

it is this image that is called up each time the plane is loaded

I do just that.

What happens in practice though, is that the correct image is turned to into bg.jpg (corresponding with the simbrief data), however it fails to load and is automatically deleted after about 10 seconds leaving the background as it was and no bg.jpg in the folder.

For some reason, the tablet won't refresh with the new bg file. If you bring up the remote tablet on http://localhost:8083/ - you will indeed get the new background showing up but not in the VC

For anyone interested, here is a solution using JScript in AAO. This script queries SimBrief on its own (supply your account name!), so no need to use (LOAD_SIMBRIEF):

(I still don't understand why you are deleting the bg.jpg file?)

(WSH:jscript|AaoEntry)

function AaoEntry(){
  // your SimBrief user name goes here
  var sbuser = 'yourusername';
  // query SimBrief
  var xmlHttpReq = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");   
  var commandStr = "https://www.simbrief.com/api/xml.fetcher.php?username=" + sbuser;
  xmlHttpReq.open("POST", commandStr, false);
  xmlHttpReq.send();
  var content = xmlHttpReq.responseText;
  // load the resoponse XML into a DOM structure
  var dom = new ActiveXObject("msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
  dom.async = false;
  dom.loadXML(content); 
  // query the airline icao
  var objNodeList = dom.documentElement.selectNodes("general/icao_airline");
  if (objNodeList && objNodeList.length > 0){
    // if it exists, copy the file
    var acIcao = "" + objNodeList[0].text;
    var srcImgName = "C:\\ProgramData\\Fenix\\FenixSim A320\\efb\\img\\" + acIcao + ".jpg";
    var trgImgName = "C:\\ProgramData\\Fenix\\FenixSim A320\\efb\\img\\bg.jpg";
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    fso.CopyFile(srcImgName, trgImgName, true);
    // delete the target file after 20 seconds (why?)
    AaoCmd.sleep(20000);
    fso.DeleteFile(trgImgName, true);
  }
}
