an idea:
ls *.jpg > filelist.txt
then edit filelist.txt and reorder the filenames until done
the run:
sh renamescript.sh filelist.txt
where renamescript.sh is:
-------------------------------
FILES=$1
I=1001
cat $FILES|while read filename; do
N=$(echo $I|cut -c2-)
echo mv "$filename" "$N""_""$filename"
I=$(( $I + 1 ))
done
-------------------------------------
remove 'echo' for the real script.
