Script to delete sidecar files for missing photo files?

I hit a roadblock trying to do this in Applescript but I might try again now I figured it out in Bash.

This works in Terminal, if run from the folder I am cleaning up.

#!/bin/bash

for files in {*.aae,*.xmp}

do

filename=${files%.*}

printf "Processing file: %s as %s \n" $files $filename

lines=$(find $filename.* ! '(' -name '*.aae' -o -name '*.xmp' -o -name '.' ')' | wc -l)

printf "Found %s match(es)" $lines

if [ $lines -eq 0 ]

then

Printf "Deleting %s\n" $files

rm $files

fi

done

I found bugs in the original solution where it was not handling whitespace correctly and it also what not case insensitive. This new code fixes that and is what I used to solve my issue.

#!/bin/bash

while read sidecarFile

do

Printf "Source: %s\n" "$sidecarFile"

fileName=${sidecarFile%.*}

lines=$(find "$fileName".* ! '(' -type f -iname '*.aae' -o -iname '*.xmp' -o -iname '.' ')' | wc -l)

if [ $lines -eq 0 ]

then

Printf " -- no match found ******** DELETED ********\n"

rm "$sidecarFile"

else

Printf " -- matched\n"

fi

done < <(find "$PWD" -type f -iname '*.aae' -o -iname '*.xmp' | sort -z)
