Same filename - different extension

Is there/will there be an option to find files with the same filename, but with a different extension?

For example:
I have some RAW photos in CR2 format that I had converted to a DNG format. Now I would like to find all CR2 files that have the same name as my DNG files and delete the CR2 copies. When I ran duplicate cleaner with filename option I only found copies with the same extension.

An alternative to be able to do this right away, is using a simple comparison based on directory listings of *.DNG and *.CR2.

You could cut off the extension and then check the differences between the two lists.

For listing the files, you can use the good old DIR command "dir *.DNG /a-d /s" or "dir *.DNG /b /s" in a (cmd) command prompt window.

I'm not sure if generating the list and cutting off the extension can be done by Text Crawler. Finding the files would be no problem, of course.
