Ability to obfuscate and replace input file

[icnocop]

Hi.

Thank you for ConfuserEx v0.2.3.

I would like to request the ability to obfuscate an assembly whose output directory is the same as the input directory, causing the original file to be overwritten.

For example, the following configuration will fail with the following error because the input and output files are the same:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project baseDir="." outputDir="..\..\..\bin\x86\Release" xmlns="http://confuser.codeplex.com">
    <rule preset="none" pattern="true">
        <protection id="anti debug" />
        <protection id="anti dump" />
        <protection id="anti ildasm" />
        <protection id="anti tamper" />
        <protection id="constants" />
        <protection id="ctrl flow" />
        <protection id="invalid metadata" />
        <protection id="ref proxy" />
        <protection id="rename" />
        <protection id="resources" />
    </rule>
    <module path="..\..\..\MyProject\bin\x86\Release\MyAssembly.exe" snKey="..\..\..\StrongName.snk" />
</project>

Thank you.

+1 Just wanted to let you know that I also tried to do that when I first used ConfuserEx, seems like a good feature to me. Without knowing the source code: maybe it's fixable if ConfuserEx copies the binary file to a temporary directory first?
