Transfer rating jpeg's to RAW files

Question

Hi everybody,
Here's my thing : after rating my jpeg's, I only want to keep the corresponding RAW files (I'm always shooting in jpeg & RAW at the same time). How can I delete the remaining RAW files without having to select everything manually ? I'm shooting a lot of images, so that's taking a lot of time !
I can't figure it out, has anyone got an idea ???

Hi Omke,
Thanks a lot !  Your way works much faster than mine !  My method : 
first I deleted all non-rated jpeg's. Then I went to finder, and there 
I selected all the corresponding RAW files and dragged them to an emty 
folder. I went back to Bridge, deleted all the remaining RAW files, 
then back to finder, selecting the RAW's in the new folder and 
dragging them back into the origanal folder. And then back to Bridge 
to check if I had the same amount RAW's and jpeg's in the end. 
Pffffff......
Especially the manual selecting in Bridge is much more pleasant than 
selecting filename's in finder.
Thanks for giving it a thought !

That is a difficult one and I can't think of an easy method other then
changing your workflow, but that is not really the solution for you.

Personal I only shoot Raw and convert those to DNG. If Raw is the 
target to
use then you should start to select the Raw files instead of jpeg 
but again
every one is using his own workflow and you may have a perfect good 
reason
to do so

The only thing I can think of to select them a bit more easy, (but 
it will
still be manual and also assuming you have used the same filename 
and only
different extension) is to filter the rating you have done for the 
files. So
if you have used 1 star just select 1 star in the filter panel. Now 
all 1
star rated files show in the content panel.

Select them all and now again go to the filter panel and deselect 
the 1 star
rating. When still in filename sort order you see the jpegs (and 
next to
them all your Raw files because they have the same name) you have 
rated
spread over the content panel but still selected and easy to see 
with the
yellow border around it . With the command button pressed you can 
easily
find the Raw files next to the selected 1 star rated files and click 
on them
one by one to add those file to your selected series. When having run
through this whole content file adding the wanted Raw files to your
selection click on the rating star bar at the bottom of one file and 
now
they all get the same rating.

Now you can either select the rating again in the filter panel and 
move the
rated jpeg and Raw to another folder or select unrated and move or 
delete
the not wanted files.

It's not a perfect solution but I don't see an other way
