In a script I would like to skip files based on certain criteria, ie uncheck or remove them from the list. Is this possible?

"If" statement?
You can test properties of the item object or use app.parseTags(). Returning item.newBasename will leave the filename unchanged. |

Reply to #2: Sorry, I probably wasn't clear. I am working on a script to handle importing from 3 different camera types - reading from SD cards and copying/renaming to a photo repository. For some cameras there are files that I don't want at all so I don't want to do anything with them (eg GoPro: THM/LRV, DJI: html). I could filter them out using a regex when I copy the source folder to the list but I would like to do it programmatically if possible.
Hmm, maybe I'm still not clear |

Reply to #3: I should have said 'when I add files to the list', not 'when I copy the source folder to the list'

Reply to #4: So, I assume this isn't possible?

Reply to #4:
I think that you can only use the script method for renaming. |
