D2XsHack
Program
Updated 2006-07-08 by Bill Claff
D2XsHack is a Microsoft Windows console executable. It can be used at a “DOS prompt”.
This program is provided “as is” with no expressed or implied warranties.
You may distribute the program provided that it is not modified and that no fee is charged.
The version of Adobe Camera Raw that works with Adobe Photoshop CS2 will open D2X files but not D2Xs files.
Simply changing the model in the Nef file allows D2Xs users to use Adobe Photoshop CS2.
The program takes either one or two parameters.
The first parameter is a filename. This must be a .Nef file.
You may use wildcards but the Nef file extension must be present.
The second parameter is an option.
+s indicates changing the model from D2X to D2Xs
-s indicates changing the model from D2Xs to D2X.
If the second parameter is omitted the model is flipped between D2X and D2Xs.

D2XsHack *.NEF
Processes each Nef file in the current directory.
If the model is D2Xs it is changed to D2X. If the model is D2X it is changed to D2Xs.
· The model name is changed “in place”.
· The date and time of the file are unaffected.
· You get positive confirmation on success, nothing on failure.
These instructions assume that you have placed D2XsHack in a folder that is on your path.
To find such a folder enter Path at the DOS prompt.
The file cannot be open elsewhere.
I wrote this to help out D2Xs users who don’t want to upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS22.
I’m happy to share it with others.
Feel free to let me know about your experiences with D2XsHack.
