A Flow to delete .ARW files when no corresponding .JPG file exists

Posted on by BrAInZ

I figure that this should be quite simple, and would be very useful to me.

Basically, my camera takes .JPG files and also stores much larger .ARW (raw) files.
As the jpg files are smaller, they are easier to work with, so I go through and delete the ones I definitely don't need.

What I then want to do though, is to create a flow that automatically deletes the corresponding .ARW files for the files I have deleted.

The problem is that my logic just thinks every file isn't in the list.

Can anyone please help? (I'm very new at all this! 🙂 )

"Does not contain" refers to the items in an array, not to a string comparison. Use

CurrentItem.NameWithoutExtensionIgnoreCase + ".JPG"

Sorry to be a pain, but a complete learner that doesn't quite make sense to me.
Would you please be kind enough to give me a little more context as to how I would use that?
Thanks!

Your step 4 compares a list of files with extension .JPG ("JPGFiles") to each name of the raw images but without the extension. That comparison will never match. You need to replace the .ARW extension with .JPG before you try to match the string.
