Sync ratings between files

Buttons/Scripts

This script synchronizes the ratings of the selected items (files and folders) in the source with those in the destination that have the same name. If two files have different ratings, the larger rating will be copied to the item with the lower rating.

The script will work in collections, but not in Flatview.

Alex, you don't have by any chance a similar code doing that with tags? I do have two old buttons doing basically that, but i'd need to copy the tags one by one.

Now i am in the middle of removing ugly frames from my older images, which i was applying back then in a fit of youthful naivity, and cleaning up that mess needs a lot of cropping and moving tags and ratings around, with a couple of thousand pictures.

Here's one with a very similar name:

CopyMeta will copy tags and might be more suited:

The base logic of all these scripts is pretty straightforward and can easily be adapted if you describe your requirements well enough.

The first one works. But you gotta read the fine print.

:wink: :beers:
