Help needed for script!

Hello! I hope everyone is well and safe.

 

I was wondering if someone could help me write a script, please? 

 

I have an esoteric way of setting up my output folders and I was wondering if there's a way to automatically add a description to an image via the rating system. 

 

For example if I rate an image 5 stars, I would like a description to be added to the metadata automatically that says MAIN and 4 stars would be _COMPS etc.

 

Do you think this is possible?

 

Any help would be great! Thank you.

  Hi Luke, 

   

  I've set systems up like this before for e-comm studios, using star ratings to represent some other information. It would certainly be possible to write a script that could set, for instance, the description field of images based on the star rating. 

   

  You could do something like this, which would set the description of all variants in the current album:

   

  tell front document of application "Capture One 20"
  	set content description of every variant whose rating is 5 to "MAIN"
  end tell

  I hope that helps.
