Well as part of my search to get myself on to linux (Ubuntu 12.04), a lot of my work has been involved in replacing applications that I generally use in Windows with a Linux equivalent.
I've recently found myself having to process on batch Raw files (NEF) files, and I've come across this really great application that helps you to process RAW files and convert them to JPEG (jpg) - the application's name is called RawTherapee.
To get it on ubuntu simply execute the following command in a terminal :
sudo apt-get install rawtherapee
Once you have it, and if you're using gnome then move your mouse to the top right to where it states Activities. Then in the Search Term type in rawtherapee and the program should come up.
Using RawTherapee
When you first start with rawTherapee you be placed in the FileBrowser tab, from here select the folder in which you have placed your raw files. Once you have opened up the directory, or selected the directory you should see the files in large thumbs opening up in the middle section.
Simply select the files that you want to convert to a jpg, then while the images are selected right click on the images and select send to processing queue.
Then click on the Batch Queue tab, you should see the images to process in the bottom section. Select the directory or the template folder (the default is %p1/converted/%f this just means that it will use the path of the file and place the processed files in a directory called converted). Review the file format section, and once you are happy with everything click on the Start Processing button, found on the left hand side.
You should see the files slowly being removed from the processing queue section as each file is processed. If you navigate to the folder of the 'converted' directory you should see the converted files being written.
Hope this helps with your photography with Linux.
