Ann,
According to a posting I've read on Adobe support forum, ver. 12.4 of DNG
converter is the last one that runs on Windows 7.
Adobe doesn't keep it on their download website, but it is
still available from their ftp site:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/cameraraw/win/12.x/CameraRaw_12_4.exe
What I've just discovered is that those Firefox and Chrome-like browsers
that I have on my Win-10 box for some reason couldn't download this file,
but Internet Explorer can.
Try, and if you cannot download it, - e-mail me, and I will download
it and make it available for you on a website.
Cheers,
Igor

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 (I believe it should allow showing thumbnails in
Windows Explorer as well as in Windows' own image viewer, "photos".)
If you have Windows 10, - you can get a free Microsoft's package "Raw Image
extension":

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:

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
