I did test this by changing (with Name Munger) the file extension from "NEF" to "PSD". Photoshop couldn't open the file stating "not a Photoshop document".
There are SOME cases where you can change the extension and have things work. But more often >than not you need to convert files from one type to another. Simply changing the extension doesn't
accomplish that.
Use Adobe DNG Converter. It fairly fast and works flawlessly.
Thomas talked about doing something in the terminal but that sounds beyond my capabilities.
Yes, if you have the full version of Photoshop, I'm sure you could write an Action to open the file in Adobe Camera Raw, with a default settings, pass it to Photoshop and then Save As. You could then make the Action into a Droplet, then drop files on it and let Photoshop do its thing.
