Copying Attributes

Question

Is it possible to apply JPEG attributes, such as color labels and ratings, to RAW files with the same name in Adobe Bridge?
I searched a bit but couldn't find anything, so I'd like to request a feature like this if it's available.

That's the strange thing, it's not a stack, just two images, nothing happens, this is the result after running the installed script with only these two images selected beforehand:

Its probably the uppercase file extensions? Try this revision. I had to initially fix ".jpg" vs ".jpeg". Obnviously this script could be modified to work with any type of file as needed.

#target bridge
if(BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge'){
    var attrCmd = MenuElement.create('command', 'Copy Attributes', 'at the end of Tools'); //create new menu command
    }

attrCmd.onSelect = function(){
    try{
        var thumbs = app.document.selections;
        var baseName = '';
        var baseLen = 0;
        var lbl = '';
        var rtg = 0;
        for(var i = 0; i < thumbs.length; i++){
            if(thumbs[i].core.itemContent.canDoCameraRaw){
                baseName = thumbs[i].name.split('.');
                baseLen = baseName.length - 1;
                if(baseName[baseLen].toLowerCase() != 'jpg' && baseName[baseLen].toLowerCase() != 'jpeg'){
                    baseName.length--;
                    baseName = baseName.join('.');
                    for(var j = 0; j < thumbs.length; j++){
                        if(thumbs[j].name.toLowerCase() == baseName.toLowerCase() + '.jpg' || thumbs[j].name.toLowerCase() == baseName.toLowerCase() + '.jpeg'){
                            lbl = thumbs[j].label;
                            rtg = thumbs[j].rating;
                            thumbs[i].label = lbl;
                            thumbs[i].rating = rtg;
                            break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    catch(e){
        alert(e + ' ' + e.line);
        }
    }

Below is a simple script that will copy labels and ratings from a JPEG file to a RAW file. Select all the files to be processed (both JPEG and RAW) and run the script from the Tools menu.

To install, save as PLAIN TEXT (not RTF) with .jsx file extension and place that script into the Bridge Scripts Folder (Bridge Preferences/Settings->Startup Scripts->Reveal My Startup Scripts button) and relaunch Bridge.

#target bridge
if(BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge'){
    var attrCmd = MenuElement.create('command', 'Copy Attributes', 'at the end of Tools'); //create new menu command
    }

attrCmd.onSelect = function(){
    try{
        var thumbs = app.document.selections;
        var baseName = '';
        var baseLen = 0;
        var lbl = '';
        var rtg = 0;
        for(var i = 0; i < thumbs.length; i++){
            if(thumbs[i].core.itemContent.canDoCameraRaw){
                baseName = thumbs[i].name.split('.');
                baseLen = baseName.length - 1;
                if(baseName[baseLen] != 'jpg' && baseName[baseLen] != 'jpeg'){
                    baseName.length--;
                    baseName = baseName.join('.');
                    for(var j = 0; j < thumbs.length; j++){
                        if(thumbs[j].name == baseName + '.jpg' || thumbs[j].name == baseName + '.jpeg'){
                            lbl = thumbs[j].label;
                            rtg = thumbs[j].rating;
                            thumbs[i].label = lbl;
                            thumbs[i].rating = rtg;
                            break;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    catch(e){
        alert(e + ' ' + e.line);
        }
    }
