Restoring sequential numbering? Advice please

[Tenex]

I've just transferred all the prints off a memory card and accidentally deleted a tiny file at the same time. I think this file is connected with photo numbering as the numbers have reset to 001.

Anyone know of a way or utility to allow me to restore or recreate the file? I was at 0798 so as you can imagine this is going to cause some confusion!

No idea if this will work, but transfer image 0798 back onto the card, and take a picture. Hopefully, the camera will see 0798, and label the next one 0799.

good idea! will try it.

Too good to be true - it labelled 798 as 001 and the next as 002.



edit
actually that's not quite right - it's showing as 001 in the viewfinder but numbered correctly on the memory card! Result - thanks.

You can use a program such as '1-4a rename' to batch rename all the files back to their original numbers.

thanks for the tip.
