ya on the second run it's changing the same filename to the same filename. the reason why this is important, is because i will be adding images to the same directory later, and i'd like to just rename the newest photos to be in line with the rest of them. but i don't want to lose any data either. i tried the '-f' flag but it still does the same thing. but after i do it a 3rd and 4th time, it doesn't change anything. it just keeps 10.jpg - 19.jpg. does that help?
