Importing only RAWs matching pre-selected JPGs

Hi all,

As a sport photographer I am currently investigating possibilities to speed up my workflow especially targeting to quickest possible publishing for social media. Following process is currently in use, but I need some automation for the last part:

Shooting RAWs and JPGs into separated memory cards -> Importing only JPGs from "JPG card"-> Selecting the best out of JPGs and tuning them -> resizing and processing publishing versions as JPGs -> manually listing all selected JPGs and matching filenames from "RAW card" -> Importing only RAWs which are matching to already selected JPGs.

So, I'd like to archive and copy only RAWs which are matching to selected JPG images. How I could automate this part of the process? Any script or plugin that I could use from C1 interface to launch importing process for RAWS based on selected (highlighted) JPG versions? I am using Mac OS X.

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately there is no such kind of automation ever exist to my knowledge.
Why not use software like Phtoto Mechanic to cool down photos, and then import only keepers into C1 from specific location.
This is typical workflow, which is much faster, then double playing with RAW+JPG at least to my knowladge

Ok - thanks for checking this one out.

I already scripted a solution for this one with AppleScript and it nicely now copies RAW files from pointed media (memory card) of selected/highlighted JPG-files in C1 to my external hard drive's folder where all other images are. Now only missing part from automation wise is how I could automatically open import dialog or even automatically add just copied RAW-files to my default catalog - any ideas or sample AppleScript ?
