Scripting multiple exports?

I use Photo Raw 2019 and usually export multiple versions of my final edit:

1. Social media resized and logo (same folder)
2. Full size, no logo for printing (backup/print folder)
3. Full size, logo (backup folder)
4. Raw conversion to DNG (backup folder)

Naturally, doing four exports for each file leads to errors and omissions. 

I was happy to read that OnRaw 2022 can do scripting.  I'm a retired programmer and would love to craft a script to simplify my exports.  The DNG conversion can be handled in a script executing the Adobe converter, but I haven't found a good syntax list that shows how to execute multiple exports.

Has anyone done this and would care to share a code snippet?

  I don't have any info on scripting for Photo Raw, but what you're doing can be done easily in PR2022. The new export panel lets you select more than one Export preset at a time, so you could open export and select those 4 presets all at once. The only thing it can't do is group those 4 into one job so you'll have to manually select all 4 presets if they aren't already set.

  That alone is worth the upgrade!  Repeating all those exports is a pain.  Thank you!
