|  Numbering files sequentially
I normally change the filename somehow (convert to JPG usually), but it can be as simple as a bulk RENAME command from the DOS prompt.
C:YAPE> RENAME YAPE*.BMP PICS*.BMP would rename the files so that the first four letters would be PICS, and the numbering would remain intact.
Somewhere I have a utility that renames files sequentially, and it works on picture files. I used it when I ran a BBS almost 10 years ago. If you wish to search the Internet for BBS Utilities, it would be a program that compares filenames between two directories and renames if there is a conflict, then moves the (newer, renamed) files to the (original, older) directory.
