Using Automator for photography file needs

Question

I've been looking on here but can't find a way to do what I need done exactly.
I shoot in both raw and jpeg and I want to be able to run one action on a folder to do the following.
Arrange the files in a folder by name and in ascending order.
Create 2 folders in the input folder. 1 called RAW and copy all the raw files (.nef) to that folder and the other called JPEG and copy all the jpeg files to that folder.
Rename the files fro _dsc4356.jpg to macshoot0001.jpg and in the raw folder rename all the files as well.
Is this possible using the automator?
Thanks.

Hi,
In Automator :
add action "*Run Shell Script*"
Select "/bin/bash" in Shell popup menu
Select "*as arguments*" in pass input: popup menu
Paste this text in the action.
baseName="macshoot"
padding=0000 ## 3 zero pad
for f in "$@"; do
if [ -d "$f" ]; then ## is a directory
i=0
cd "$f"; /bin/mkdir -p "$f"/{RAW,JPEG}
for aJPG in "$f/"*.jpg ; do
if [ -f "$aJPG" ]; then
((i++)); index=${padding:${#i}}$i;
/bin/mv "$aJPG" "JPEG/$baseName$index.jpg"
fi
done
i=0
for aNEF in "$f/"*.nef ; do
if [ -f "$aNEF" ]; then
((i++)); index=${padding:${#i}}$i;
/bin/mv "$aNEF" "RAW/$baseName$index.nef"
fi
done
fi
done
That's all.
This shell proceed folder(s) only, if the input is file(s), it do nothing
