Writing NRW Files

[nestochi]

Hi

i've been using exiftool to write metadata to raw files for a while, really it's the greatest photography tool ever.
Every file is supported.

But today i found a problem with NRW files from Nikon P6000 and P7000 cameras.

I am using mac OSX Snow Leopard and exiftool 8.54, and  I am testing it with the NRW samples from this review: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/nikon_coolpix_p7000_review/sample_images/

I want to write some tags to those nef files, and first i try with this:
exiftool -Model=TestModel ./nikon_coolpix_p7000_05.nrw

the writing result is OK, but the newly created image cannot be display by OSX (Quicklook or Preview).
It's says the format is not supported. But the original image is displayed just fine.
If i read the exif data again, with exiftool or other tools, the exif data has been written properly. It's just that OSX cannot open it any more.

i am not sure if the problem is with exiftool, with the way i am using it, or maybe with my system.

someone else found a similar problem?

best regards.

well , never mind.

it seems that Preview uses the EXIF field "Model" to determine if it can open or not the image file.

silly me, i chose a quite sensitive field to change for my test.. 

i modified another fields and Preview open the files just fine..

sorry for false alarm 

best regards.
