Thank you for the reply.
I was hoping to track the number of times a file has been rated as a 5 star, 4 star etc.
To explain in detail, I will sometimes take a group of say 48 images from a shoot and compare them in groups of 8 (in the viewer). I will rate the 8 images in order of my preference from 5 - 1. This means for a group of 8, 5 images will have ratings and 3 images will not. I then will go back and review all of the images that did not receive ratings and I might delete them etc. (this is all part of my workflow). I generally continue this sort of "voting" system until I have reduced the images down to a number that I want to work with for my client. What happens is as I work through all of the images, I reset the ratings after each batch of images so that I'm "voting" for the best images again on each round. I was curious if I could somehow track the number of times I've given a specific image a 5, 4, 3 etc. through all of these "rounds"
I love all of the scripting/api options that are in place currently and even if rarely used, I would hate to see them go. However, I fully understand that it must be hard to keep all of those features if hardly anyone is using them.
Thanks again for the reply. As I read the help system, I noticed that it was indicating this sort of scripting could cause issues so that is why I asked.
