Below are two DOS Batch_Windows Command files that perform the following:

1 The main file, Reset_Original.cmd, Iterates through a directory of *.jpg and *.cr2 files

2 When it finds one it calls Reset_Orig-1.cmd passing the filename as a argument

3 Reset_Orig-1.cmd batch file checks for both the short name and the longer name _original file and if they both exist, it deletes the short name file and renames the longer name _original file to the short name file.

Code:

@echo off
Rem Reset_Original.cmd
Rem Deletes the modified file if a corresponding _original file
Rem   exists and then renames the originial back

for %%i in (*.jpg *.cr2) do call Reset_Orig-1.cmd %%i

:Exit

Rem End of Reset_Original.cmd

Code:

@echo off
Rem Reset_Orig-1.cmd
Rem Called Reset_Originals.cmd which passes the filename to this batch file
Rem   This checks for a corresponding _original file and if both exists, then
Rem   it deletes the short file and renames the originial back to the short filename

echo *** Procesing:
dir /b %1*

IF EXIST %1_original goto fix
echo    Ignoring: %1
goto exit

:fix
echo    Deleting: %1
del %1
echo    Renaming: %1_original to %1
rename %1_original %1

:exit

Rem End of Reset_Orig-1.cmd
