Deleting files with no corresponding other files

Help & Support
1

Is there a way of setting the filters or by Regex, to delete raw image files, that have no corresponding .jpg files?
For example, in

file01.nef
file01.jpg
file02.nef
file02.jpg
file03.nef

only the file03.nef would be deleted.

Here's one way you could do it.

First filter the folder so only JPG images are displayed. You can do that with this button command:

Set SHOWFILTERFILENAME *.(jpg|jpeg)

Next select all of those JPGs and reset the filter so both NEFs and JPGs are visible. Then run the following command via a button you set up:

@nodeselect Select PATTERN "{file$|noext}.*"

That will select all the NEFs that have matching JPGs. Invert the selection and the orphan NEFs (along with any other file types) should be selected.

Cool. Can this be merged into one button?

Maybe, I don't know if I've ever tried to do it in one button but you could give it a try.

I'd do it, but I'm just about to sit down to enjoy a big slab of delicious BBQ'd pork ribs. :slight_smile:

Yeah, enjoy your meal! I forward the code to the guy, who asked in the german forums. Thanks! :bulb: :sunglasses:
