I have Nikon d810 and have been using Adobe DNG converter 8.6 to work my files in Lightroom 5.3. I last used the converter in early June and then I went traveling.
Back home, I tried to treat my new NEF files from Nikon into the same converter and it no longer recognizes them (either the newly taken NEFs, or those I treated/converted in the past). I rebooted the whole thing, uninstalled the converter and reinstalled the same version of the converter. No results - the files simply no longer appear when I "select folder". I can't see in any of the online forums if the DNG converter 8.6 has been superseded by a newer version for my d810's NEF files - if so, please let me know. Any other solutions?
For as long as I can't convert the NEF files, I can't work on Lightroom, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Just did that (for windows). Unfortunately, the new converter still does not recognize any NEF files in my folders. The NEF files are certainly there, as Nikon NX-D can "see" them, and so does Windows, although it won't reproduce any images (as has always been the case).
What else could I do?

There have been several new releases of the DNG converter, but that shouldn't have changed anything in your case. Did you download the images from the camera using any Nikon software?

No, I usually just run the files directly from the memory card in my computer.
You are probably right that it should not have affected the conversion, because the 9.12 has not worked either.
Just in case, I've downloaded the (free) Nikon NX-D to see if anything happened to the NEF files, but they can be viewed there with no problems.
Still, I want to work on my Lightroom.

How do you get the files from the memory card to the computer?
