The previous script assumed that the JPG and NEF camera files were in a single input folder, named the same and alphabetically sorting correctly in pairs.
This is still assumed and required, however, this script processes from two separate input folders, one folder for the JPG files and the other folder for the NEF files. This means that it doesn't matter what the raw file format extension is as it will always open as the second file. Of course, all references of NEF will need to be changed if this isn't your raw file extension:
