Here's an example of a command line that worked for me (should be on a single line, of course): The DNG converter - at least the version of it I have here - doesn't understand that no path being specified indicates "current directory", and it doesn't appear to understand relative paths, either. "inputfile" is the fully qualified path of the input fileĮmphasis on "fully qualified". "outputdir" is the fully qualified path of the output directory "converter" is the name of the converter (with path, unless its location is already in your %PATH%) I have been able to get this to work only as follows: What is the correct syntax for the -d parameter? Is there a dash before, and a space after? Do I need to separate the parameters from the input files with some character? Variation 4: thinks the destination I've specified is actually another input parameter Variation 3: runs without the correct destination directory, but with the correct source directory Variation 2: runs without the correct destination directory, but with the correct source directory C:\\Adobe DNG Converter.exe d c:\RAW_Destination c:\RAW_Source

C:\\Adobe DNG Converter.exe dc:\RAW_Destination c:\RAW_SourceĤ. C:\\Adobe DNG Converter.exe -dc:\RAW_Destination c:\RAW_Sourceģ. C:\\Adobe DNG Converter.exe -d c:\RAW_Destination c:\RAW_SourceĢ. I have used the following command variations:ġ. I'm trying to use the -d switch to specify that files should be saved in C:\RAW_Destination.

I have another issue that has been asked previously but not addressed. 2) omitted "-o" and used "*.cr2" for the input filename in that case neither converter version produced output 3) omitted "-o" and used ".\" for the input file, in case the converter would accept that for "all raw files in the current directory" - again neither converter version produced any output. Variations: 1) omitted "-o filename" - same results. I got output with the DNG converter that was released at about the time Photoshop CS2 was released, but no output with the one I downloaded most recently from Adobe's web site. Result in both the cmd.exe shell and the 4NT shell: This time I added an explicit switch/arg for the output file to see if that would make any difference. For this latest attempt, I used both shells. I'm running the converter under Windows XP service pack 2.Īfter seeing your reply I realized I had not tried running the program in a cmd.exe console window - I'd been using only the 4NT version 5 command shell (meaning JP Software's command shell product 4nt.exe). Macintosh or Windows? What command line shell are you using? Is there something wrong with how I'm specifying its command-line switches/arguments? I'm sure I'll need to use the most recent version to convert D3 RAW files. The switches+arguments shown in the PDF file appear to be exactly the ones I used in the past. The 'readme' file that comes with the converter doesn't include any information about command-line usage, but I did find a PDF file covering this (/products/dng/pdfs/dng_commandline.pdf). With the very latest version, running the program with the above command produces no output. NEF files surely that older version doesn't support the D3's format). With an older (CS2) version of the converter, the above arguments produce a. The switches+arguments I've used for my tests are: Today I downloaded Adobe's latest DNG converter.
