Problem:

After a photoshot of both RAW and JPG files, the less magnificent images are to be deleted. Since RAW format takes a long time for each image to load compared to JPG it is faster to review the JPG files. Unfortunately the RAW file that shares the same image doesn't get deleted. The RAW file must be deleted manually after reviewing and deleting the JPG file or going through the RAW files and wait.

Solution:

Split the RAW and JPG files into different directories. Review and delete the JPG files accordingly. Compare the existing JPG files to show the RAW files that don't have a matching JPG files. Confirm to delete the RAW file(s)


Steps

Confirm the extension formats for JPG and RAW files
Browse to original directory with both JPG and RAW files.
The path for both will populate with the path string. LIST_Main will display the name of the files in the JPG directory. The highlighted image name will display the image in the preview field.
Click <to> to see next image
Click Delete to see delete current image
Split JPG/RAW The files will be copied to a directory called JPG and RAW appropriately
Find the RAW files that don't have a buddy JPG file
Delete the RAW file to remove the orphaned RAW files

Photo Mechanic already does this.

eh.. am I missing something here?
either bridge or light room will do this for me? adding the capability also to either label or rate the selected images for edit and archiving purposes.

Why would one use a separate sotfware?

The price is free. I don't use those applications so I am unfamilliar with those big programs if they have a function to delete images both the JPG and the matching CR2 file.

For my purpose, adding a rating, grouping exif data changes or other things are not needed. The images are not the final product. I can see your point if the session was a wedding or simple events. This tool might not be so handy for those. It might even be counter productive. I see your point. I find it handy for pre-stacking before Corel Draw gets involved.

The clickable image below is before Corel Draw, except for resizing from 12MP. I don't see myself loading 20-200+ images into Corel Draw. It would use alot of memory and take a long time to load. And it still doesn't delete the image XXXX.001JPG and XXXX001.CR2. Previewing using Windows default viewer will load both JPG and CR2 and deleting works using it. I found Windows loads CR2 files very slow due to the size.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions so far
