Hi,

The command line feature of the DNG converter appears to be broken on the latest version (4.5).
Version 4.4.1 still functions OK...

Anyone got a clue?

Greetings,
Auke

Can you provide some more details, like which OS, and what command line parameters you are trying to use?

Dear Thomas,

Well I have tried it on a few Windows machines running XP (both 32 and 64 bit versions).

The most simple form of commandline use, ex:
"Adobe DNG Converter.exe" -c PICT0001.MRW
yields nothing when using v4.5.

v4.4.1 (and earlier) produce the expected PICT0001.DNG.

Could you please check?

TIA,
Auke

Yes there is a problem with 4.5, I is using it togheter with Downloader Pro and have recieved this from the developer:

* *** It appears to be a bug in Adobe's DNG Converter: the -o command line option appears to be broken. This document lists the command line options: <http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/pd...ommandline.pdf>

If you type in the same command line options as DLPro's plug-in is using in a "Command Prompt" window Adobe's DNG Converter fails to create the DNG file using the pathname specified using the -o option. As far as I can see -o works if the output filename is specified but fails if a full pathname including the directory is used.

Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about this as the problem is caused by a bug in Adobe's software.

Hi again,

Issue is fixed (sort of).

DNG converter 4.5 needs full path names in its command line.
Example:
"Adobe DNG Converter.exe" -c d:\pictures\PICT0001.MRW

The older versions did not require the full path name and would also work like this:
"Adobe DNG Converter.exe" -c PICT0001.MRW
provided that the working directory was "d:\pictures".

Best regards,
Auke Nauta

I downloaded the ACR 4.5 update along with the DNG converter and the best I can do with the DNG Converter is to create a shortcut to the .exe in order to have an icon on my desktop. When I unzipped the file after downloading it, it does not create or ask to create a desktop icon. I'm running Vista(32 bit).
