Renaming files with same name in different folders at once

Help & Support
1

Hey,

I'm using DOpus for several years now and have written some Renaming-Scripts already. But so far I could not solve one issue:
When I mark several files in one folder and I have a second folder with exact the same files - just a differnt ending - How can I do the same operation on BOTH files?

Here is my example:
After the first step of sorting, I have a structure like this:

Photos
|- 2019-08-30
|  |-JPG
|  |  |-file1.jpg
|  |  |-file2.jpg
|  |  |-file3.jpg
|  |  |-file4.jpg
|  |-RAW
|  |  |-file1.cr2
|  |  |-file2.cr2
|  |  |-file3.cr2
|  |  |-file4.cr2

Now I mark two files in Folder "JPG" - let's say file2.jpg and file3.jpg and start my script:

@useactivelister
@set event={dlgstring|Enter Event name}
Rename FILEINFO FROM "..\RAW\{file|noext}.CR2" TO "..\..\{shootingtime|D#yyyy-MM-dd} {$event}\RAW\{file|noext}.CR2"
Rename FILEINFO TO "..\..\{shootingtime|D#yyyy-MM-dd} {$event}\JPG\{file}"

It takes the files, asks for an Event-Name and creates a new folder one level up and also creates JPG and RAW as subfolders. It then takes the JPG-Files and moves them them to the new folder\JPG. So far everything works fine. But I would like to also move the cooresponding RAW-Files to the new folder\RAW. Here, my script fails for whatever reason after the first file.

Expected:

Photos
|- 2019-08-30
|  |-JPG
|  |  |-file1.jpg
|  |  |-file4.jpg
|  |-RAW
|  |  |-file1.cr2
|  |  |-file4.cr2
|- 2019-08-30 My Event
|  |-JPG
|  |  |-file2.jpg
|  |  |-file3.jpg
|  |-RAW
|  |  |-file2.cr2
|  |  |-file3.cr2

Is:

|- 2019-08-30
|  |-JPG
|  |  |-file1.jpg
|  |  |-file4.jpg
|  |-RAW
|  |  |-file1.cr2
|  |  |-file3.cr2
|  |  |-file4.cr2
|- 2019-08-30 My Event
|  |-JPG
|  |  |-file2.jpg
|  |  |-file3.jpg
|  |-RAW
|  |  |-file2.cr2

So why does my script work correctly for all JPG-Files, but only for the first CR2-file? If I would have an issue in my {file}->{file|noext}.CR2 conversions, why is it working for the first file then and not for every other file?

As I'm dealing with thousands of pictures a year, your hints could help me to save so much time and eliminate one of my major error-sources.

Thanks and with best regards

Two quick ideas for the second rename statement:

@nodeselect
Rename FILEINFO FROM={file} TO="..\..\{shootingtime|D#yyyy-MM-dd} {$event}\JPG\{file}"

@nodeselect
Rename FILEINFO TO="..\..\{shootingtime|D#yyyy-MM-dd} {$event}\JPG\*.*"

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried both ideas right away, but unfortunately both have exactly the same outcome as my current script (JPG files are fine; from the CR2-Files, only the first one is moved).

I also tried to add the nodeselect-statement above the first rename-statement, but without any effect.

Sorry, I was reading this on a small screen and missed which one went wrong. Build your paths with {sourcepath|..}raw instead of just ..\raw and you should be fine. Use dopusrt /argsmsgbox to check if your arguments yield the correct paths.

Indeed that did the trick.
Thanks you so much and have a great day!
