It's true Camera Raw is not scriptable, But You might be able to do so in a limited way? In folder :- var CameraRawfolder = Folder(Folder.userData + "/Adobe/CameraRaw/Defaults"); Contains the xmp defaults, one of these is called Previous.xmp You could write a script to modify this file, select the thumbnails then apply "Develop Settings - Previous Conversion" Then you would need the external DNG converter and script that to do your coversions. It would be a lot simpler if Adobe made ACR scriptable Good luck.

Bridge only understands JavaScript and the only way to talk to Bridge with another language is via another application such as Photoshop and use BridgeTalk. After all this Camera Raw is not scriptable at all. Good luck with your endevour 🙂

Untested, but you could try... var bm = new BitmapData(thumbs[i].spec);
if(bm instanceof BitmapData)
{
// create the path and file name
var exportFilePath = destinationFolder + "/" + thumbs[i].name;
bm.exportTo(new File(exportFilePath));
var th = new Thumbnail(exportFilePath);
th = thumbs[i].rotation;

It looks as if the file is not open when you are trying to run the action. You could try... using System;
using ps = Photoshop;
namespace Action_Test
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ps.Application app = new ps.ApplicationClass();
String openfile = @"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Photoshop.exe";
app.Open(openfile);
app.DoAction("MyTestAction", "MyActionsFolder");
}
}
}

app.putCustomOpions (GUID, settingsObj ); This will only retain settings whilst Photoshop is open, if you want it to retain the details if Photoshop is closed then opened you would need:- app.putCustomOpions (GUID, settingsObj, true );

if(!actionFile.exists){

This is a Photoshop script not automator. Save the script as a plain text file with a .jsx extension and save it in Potoshop/Presets/Scripts folder If Photoshop was open, restart it so that it can pick up the new script. To use: File - Scripts - select the script and it will prompt you to select the top level folder.

Yes Bridge is the way to go, allthough I go against a lot of people and use rename and this will move files using Photoshop, there could be exemptions, but if using the same disk and no alias etc. it should be fine and quick.

Here is a Bridge script that should sort the documents. It will create Landscape, Portrait and Square folders off the selected folder. To use: select the documents, Tools - "Sort Landscape - Portrait - Square Pics" The script must be a plain text document with a .jsx extension. Place the script in the correct folder, this can be found by going to the preferences - Startup Scripts - then click the button "Reveal My Startup Scripts" this will open the folder where the script is to reside. Once placed restart Bridge and accept the new script. #target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
sortPics = new MenuElement("command", "Sort Landscape - Portrait - Square Pics", "at the end of Tools");
}
sortPics.onSelect = function () {
var sels = app.document.selections;
if(sels.length < 1) return;
var origFolder = decodeURI(app.document.thumbnail.spec);
var portFolder = Folder(origFolder + "/Portrait");
var landFolder = Folder(origFolder + "/Landscape");
var sqrFolder = Folder(origFolder + "/Square");
if(!portFolder.exists) portFolder.create();
if(!landFolder.exists) landFolder.create();
if(!sqrFolder.exists) sqrFolder.create();
app.synchronousMode = true;
for (var s =0;s< sels.length;s++){
var Thumb = new Thumbnail(sels[s]);
var Rotation = Thumb.rotation;
var Width = Thumb.core.quickMetadata.width * 1;
var Height = Thumb.core.quickMetadata.height *1;
if(Width ==0 || Height == 0) continue;
if(Width > Height && Rotation == 0) Thumb.moveTo(landFolder);
if(Width < Height && Rotation == 0) Thumb.moveTo(portFolder);
if(Width > Height && Rotation != 0) Thumb.moveTo(portFolder);
if(Width < Height && Rotation != 0) Thumb.moveTo(landFolder);
if(Width == Height) Thumb.moveTo(sqrFolder);
