Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not -

Since installing Snow Leopard, all the file extensions for Nikon .NEF are renamed for some reason to .FEF (switches the N to an F) when copying them from my CF card to the Mac - Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop will not recognize or open them. But if I change the file extension to .NEF, it immediately changes the icon to the proper RAW thumb and Lightroom or Photoshop treats it as a normal RAW file.

Has anyone experienced this before, and do you have a fix? (other than manually renaming hundreds of files)

This happened immediately upon installing Snow Leopard.

I'm assuming this was you asking the same question on the apple boards?

Yes same guy - attacking from the ac and Nikon sides!

Might have just been a weird bug with my CF card, could not duplicate this error again myself with a different CF card. Was able to download a program called Renamer which changed all the extensions and fixed this case.

I have read there are a lot of compatibility issues with Nikon software and Snow Leopard, I think Nikon is working on these.

Thanks!
