I want to write a script that swaps the sidecar file, how hard would this be?

i shoot lot of raw+jpeg, lr imports raw plus jpeg sidecar. importing them separate images not suit needs.

 

what i'd have keystroke @ disposal take selected raw+jpeg images , change them jpeg+raw (jpeg image raw sidecar).

 

another keystroke revert situation normal (raw file jpeg sidecar).

 

i can program java, c++, perl on sleep, never touched lua. how hard this? appreciate pointers on what's needed.

unfortunately, lr doesn't have ability import jpeg raw sidecar or swap roles of jpeg , raw once imported.

 

if describe more workflow , why having them separate images doesn't suit needs, might able suggest alternate means of getting same (or similar) end.
