RAW + JPG Stack

Question

I'm new to all things Bridge.  I shoot RAW + JPG and have been using my camera manufacturer's proprietary application to manage files.  This application allows me to work with the RAW + JPG file pair as one file, all sorts, deletions, copies, pastes, etc effect both the RAW and the JPG file.  As I begin the learning curve in Bridge CS5, I'm wondering if there is a way to duplicate this feature in Bridge.  I've read a couple of threads about using a script (which is also very new and foreign to me) that will stack my RAW and JPG files together.  The two threads appear to be pre-Bridge CS5.  I'm wondering if the CS5 version of Bridge has a feature that will let me work with my RAW and JPG files together.  If not, what would a complete newbie have to do to utilize the script option discussed in some of the privious threads?
Thanks

Answer 1

Any of the scripts will work in CS5.
To install a script in Bridge:-
Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts, click the "Reveal My Startup Scripts" button. this will open the folder where the script is to be placed.
A script is a plain text file with a .jsx extension
Extendscript Toolkit is the editor/IDE that is installed with Photoshop for scripts.
Once a script is placed into the folder close and restart Bridge so that is can pick up the new script.
Here is some code that should do the job....
#target bridge  
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
AutoStack = MenuElement.create("command", "Auto Stack", "at the beginning of submenu/Stack", "zx1");
AutoStack.onSelect = function () {
   stackEm();
function stackEm(){
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"name",type:"string", reverse:false}];
var jpgs = Folder(app.document.presentationPath).getFiles ("*.jpg");
app.document.deselectAll();
for(var a in jpgs){
var Name = decodeURI(jpgs[a].name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var stacks = Folder(app.document.presentationPath).getFiles(Name+".*");
if(stacks.length < 2) continue;
for(var z in stacks){ app.document.select(new Thumbnail(stacks[z]));}
StackFiles();
app.document.deselectAll();
function StackFiles(){
app.document.chooseMenuItem('submenu/Stack');
app.document.chooseMenuItem('StackGroup');
