DNG Converter 11.4.1.291 won't open supported raw files/Grayed out.

I have a 2019 iMac with a 3Ghz Intel Core i5 processor and OS 10.14.6.  Today I downloaded several versions of the DNG Converter from Adobe's site and from link's in the community discussions, but none resulted in a program that recognized my raw files by the DNG converter.  I'm mostly trying to convert Canon 70D and Powershot G7 X Mark II files.  All my raw files are grayed out.  I've tried restarting the computer and changing the file locations, but they won't open.

The DNG converter works on folder level, not file level. You cannot select individual files; you have to point it to a folder.

D Fosse - Thank you!  OMG What an idiot I am.  I haven't used it in so long that I forgot about that.  I have PS CS5.1 on another computer and had to convert everything if I wanted to use it with that old program.  I have a new system with new software and only loaded the DNG Converter there for the DCP files.  Arg.

    The GUI doesn't allow sending individual files but it can be done via command line. I wrote a Bridge script that allows choosing files or folders for conversion as part of my Utility Script Pack.
