script to rename files that have similar names?
Hi, folks.
I have my RAW files in one folder and my derivative images (e.g., PSDs, TIFFs, JPEGs) in another. The derivative files only share the last four digits of the RAW file names (e.g., the RAW file is named 100826-14278.CR2 but the JPEG version is only named 4278.JPG). Also, the derivative files have no metadata.
Is there a way to use a script to match all the derivatives to the RAW files based on the last four digits, then change their file names to match the RAW names. And, if that's possible, can Bridge then cascade the metadata minus the camera data EXIF from the RAW files to the derivative files?
Thanks!
