Mission accomplished !!!
As I mentioned, earlier in the day, I made two attempts to download the Adobe DNG converter; and, due to it taking 4+ hours, after waiting 45 minutes or so each time, I gave up and cancelled each attempt.
A couple hours later, I gave it another try and could only get "this webpage is not available, etc., etc., etc."
All other sites were working, so I figure whatever problem there was, it was on Adobe's end of things.
One quirk that should have forewarned me that something was amiss was that when I would click the download button, for about three attempts before it would respond and begin the download, it would refresh the page instead; had I have gotten more than thirty minutes sleep the night before and had my wits about me, maybe that would have registered and saved me all this grief.....oh well.
Then, about 2:AM American Standard Time, I tried again; the site quickly came up; I got a download progress bar almost as soon as I clicked the "DOWNLOAD" button; I chose "SAVE & RUN; and, in just a bit under six minutes, the little install wizard said it was finished.
All that was left was for me to right-click on the file (the wizard had even opened a folder view for me) and choose "create desktop shortcut"
I then fired up my new DNG converter, selected a folder that had 58 RAW Canon CR2 files, and set it to work.
It took it about five or so minutes to complete the task.
I selected one of the files, loaded it in the E7 Organizer, and sent it to "Full Edit".
It automatically opened the file in the RAW editor; --- everything works.
On this initial test of the DNG converter, I left all the preferences and settings as they were; the converter picked the 58 RAW files from amongst the 58 matching jpegs, created the 58 DNG files, kept the exact same file name and number that the RAW and jpeg already had (just the way I like it), and put them right back in the folder they came from; and, there they are lined up like three little rows of soldiers, RAW file, then DNG file, then jpeg.
Thanks so much for your patience and consideration.
This thread has yielded me two FREE programs; a quick and clear image viewer/handler and a RAW to DNG converter.
