I *know* there's a "codec" that allows DNG files to be seen in Windoze Explorer
that works with Win 7 Pro 64bit, because I have it installed here.
I think it's this one:
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dng/win/DNGCodec_2_0_Installer.exe
But I'm not sure. I didn't install it just now because I already have it
installed.

Paul, John and Igor...
My lightbulb went on at 3 am .... I don't want a converter to DNG... I need
something to bulk copy my PEFS to JPG"S leaving the PEFS alone... Ugh. I just
need to see what is on the PEFs when I'm browsing my image folders.. I have a
feeling I don't need anything to big or fancy to do that.. I can't see the raw
files DNGS (or others) in WIndows Explorer either.
Now that that is cleared up - I can go back to bed . But perhaps the converter
will be of interest to others on list ..
You all really take good care of me..

Ann -
I found I still have a copy of DNG Convertor v9.5.1. It's from 2016 so should
still work with Win 7. I sent you a separate email with a link to download it
from Dropbox. It's a big file (251 mB) so it will take a while to download.
Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for trying to help, Igor...
ALAS I have windows 7 PRO - the 64 bit WIndows 7 - so the last option doesn't
work... (says so specifically on line)
The Adobe doesn't work either... as I don't have WIndoze 10..
oh well, it's not really critical - faststone does work.

I've always used Adobe DNG converter which works well (or at least used to).

One thing that you'd need to choose there is the target version of DNG.
I would first convert just one file and check it by opening in all the
software tools that you are planning to use, to make sure it is adequate.
Yet another option that could be viable for you is to install a codec for
viewing RAW files on Windows ...
If you have Windows 10, - you can get a free Microsoft's package "Raw Image
extension":
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/raw-image-extension/9nctdw2w1bh8?=&activetab=pivot:overviewtab
Presumably, it should read all Pentax DSLR's raw files, as it is using this
library: https://www.libraw.org/supported-cameras
If you need that same functionality on a Win-7 computer, Ricoh/Pentax has a
raw codec for Win-7:
http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/rawcodec_win.html
I hope this helps.

I have a couple of hundred PEF's that are all in one folder on my
harddrive.. would like to copy all of them to DNG's so I can view the
thumbnails in windows explorer on my computer.. I can see them in
Freestone.. but it is cumbersome for me with my work flow..
Can I do this in bulk? Got a link to a free down load for me that will work?
thanks guys,
ann
