New Script: Lock Tagger

Hi all,

I’ve made a new script for Bridge called Lock Tagger that makes it easy to select and tag locked files, something that Bridge doesn’t let you do at present. 

When run on a selection, the script can do one of these things:

  • Select only the locked files
  • Unlock all locked files and tag them with one of these:
    • 0-5 Stars
    • "Reject" rating
    • Any of the color labels (or no label)

Usage 

  1. Select a group of files that contains locked (and unlocked) files.
  2. Run the script from Tools > Tag Locked Files...
  3. A dialog opens, allowing you to choose how to tag the files
  4. On subsequent usages, the dialog can be bypassed by holding Shift when selecting the Tools menu item - the last used setting from the dialog is used (persists between program restarts).

Installation 

  1. Go to Preferences and select the "Startup Scripts" tab.
  2. Click "Reveal Scripts in Explorer"
  3. Place the script file in the folder that opens
  4. Restart Bridge
  5. When prompted upon restarting, choose to enable the script.
  6. If the script is not enabled, go to Preferences > Startup Scripts and enable the script, then restart Bridge

You can find the script on Github, and the rest of my scripts in the same repo.

Please let me know if you have any difficulties with the script, or would like any more features - I’m happy to add stuff that will make it more useful for other peoples’ workflows!
