Selecting files from a list

I have a text file list of NEF files that I’d like to select & apply a rank to (e.g. tag as “Rank 1”). Is there a way to do this from within RawTherapee?

Not unless you know how to script, in which case iterate line by line and create/append Rank=foo to the sidecar file of each corresponding image.

[General]
Rank=3
ColorLabel=2

Using a “script” (Windows batch file) is what I’m now doing. This requires some manual finagling to get the sidecar pp3 files into the proper folder. I was hoping that Raw Therapee might have a more elegant solution built-in.
