Shortcuts app does not handle NEF-photos

Replying to myself, I can verify after tests that the problem resides inside the Shortcuts app somehow. When a batch contains JPG/RAW pairs, the script discards (at least the Fujifilm) RAW-files and imports only the JPG-versions to Lightroom. I ran tests with two different cameras, with various settings.

So, the end result is that the Shortcuts app’s Import to Lightroom -script is broken in terms of RAW-files (at least the NEF-files produced by Fujifilm cameras), and combined with delete the imported ones -script leads to data loss.

Yes, I have a Mac and no doubt this would solve the problem. I'll test if the results are the same.

But I'm working dedicatedly on an iPad only workflow, to be able to work on my photos while traveling: If I'd use a Mac at any point of the workflow, the entire Shortcuts script would be rather useless as better solutions exist for MacOS.

However, I don't think that this solves the issue itself: The purpose of the Shortcuts app workflow is to quickly sync Photos and go around the problem of importing the photos and deleting them and so on... This was actually the solution proposed upon the launch of the new iPad Pros, with the limitations of the USB-C not using mass storage.

The real problem is that NEF-files are deleted from RAW/JPG pairs by the Import to Lightroom -script, which is problematic.

I do prefer to keep the JPGs around: Fujifilms straight-out-of-camera output is fantastic, and often I find that they are quite enough with minor corrections. Hence the shooting in both formats, here.

But it for the real keepers RAW/NEF is needed, as they can be extensively retouched of course.
