Delete RAW and JPG files

Post by hpb »

Hi,
I have the following issue:
I download pictures from my DLSR-Camera in RAW and JPG, i.e. I have two files per picture. Before I browse the images to delete the bad onces, I typcially copy the RAW images in a seperate folder, because they are too big to load them fast.
And it is annoying to delete each picture twice.
The bad thing of this procedure is that I don't know how to delete the RAW files of the images I don't want to keep afterwards.

I'am looking for a solution like
"Filter files in a way that only the JPG files are displayed" and a kind of "link" that the RAW files get deleted automatically if the JPG file is deleted.

Any other suggestions how to handle this are welcome.

Tools » Options... » General » File Operations
  • [×] For Copy/Move/Delete use companion file (.xmp/.thm/.jpg)

Thanks, that goes into the right direction.
But the loading duration of the cr2 files is quite long. Would it be possible to use only the jpg files to browse the images
(Of course after the bad onces have been sorted out, I will work based on the CR2 files, but than typically with another program)

Thanks!

As a workaround, you can add the CR2 extensions to the exclusion list:
  • Tools » Options... » Browser » File List » File List » Custom files

That is because pairing should be used to hide RAW files when and only when user wants to work with both formats but speed up operations by hiding RAWs with JPEGs.
