Compare based on file name without extension

Post by LaryW »

When I process RAW images in my working folder the processing software created a file (sidecar) with the name of the image file and a special extension. IE, the RAW file name IMG1234.CR2 and the processing instructions (sidecar) IMG1234.on1 with the resulting jpg file being IMG1234.JPG.

When I move the RAW and JPG files from the working folder to their final folder destination from within my catalog program the associated .on1 file is not moved. I'd like to create a profile to compare the working folder with the destination folder and see if any image file name (before the extension) matches any sidecar with an extension on1 and if so move the on1 file to the destination.

Is there a way to limit the compare to just filename and no extension? Or file name compare to filename + on1 extension?
