An old script for copying labels not working

[IngyNorw]

On a previous PC i made a script to copy labels and ratings from jpg to raw. I made it because I save both raw and jpg when photographing and when I look through Bridge load the jpg faster. So my workflow:

1. Rate, label, delete jpg
2. Copy rating etc to raw
3. Edit the raw-files with high rating

But nothing happens when I run this script (except the deselect all, that works). May you tell me why?

#target bridge   

   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  

labelRate = MenuElement.create("command", "Label Rate from JPGs", "at the end of Tools","labelRate");

}

labelRate.onSelect = function () { 

	app.document.deselectAll();
	
	var sels =app.document.getSelection("jpg");

	for(var a in sels){

		var sourceFile = File(sels.spec);

		var destFile = File(sourceFile.toString().replace(/jpg$/i,"arw"));

		if(!destFile.exists) continue;

		var thumb = new Thumbnail(destFile);

		thumb.rating = sels.rating;

		thumb.label = sels.label;

    }

};

@IngyNorw – Forgive the “obvious" question, however, are you still using .arw files?

There were some minor errors in the code, this corrected version should now work:

#target bridge

    var labelRate = MenuElement.create("command", "Label Rate from JPGs", "at the end of Tools", "labelRate");

        var destFile = File(sourceFile.toString().replace(/jpg$/i, "arw"));

        if (!destFile.exists) continue;

        var thumb = new Thumbnail(destFile);

        thumb.rating = sels[a].rating;

        thumb.label = sels[a].label;

    }

};
