Hi Phil (and everyone)!

I have been working with Lightroom 5 and suddenly about 160 images had this unexpected end of file error. Of course Adobe said Lightroom doesn't modify any files so they blame it was a hardware issue... basically it is no use trying to convince them.

So I am on my own trying to repair these corrupted NEF. I came across your tools and D7000 isn't supported yet. I hope this will be supported in the future!

Also, the exiftool is pretty cool. I didn't think much about image file until I have to repair one. Keep up your awesome work!

Unfortunately the fix_corrupted_nef utility won't help you.  It only fixes files that were corrupted in a very specific way by Nikon software. :(
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
