And again. Google the standard

"If a DCF file name already exists in the DCF directory where a file is
to be stored, it is recommended that the file number be assigned as the
largest existing number + 1."

In other words, if no file exists start at 001, otherwise at continue
sequentially.

GOOGLE!

I don't understand why all auto generated file names are not some form
of .....software.date.time.jpg

or lastname.date.time.jpg

or anything.date.time.jpg

or da.mo.yr.jpg

| The solution should be easy enough to find without doing such.

ALWAYS seek help from the manufacturer first. This could be as simple as RTFM.

I have always had the numbering system set to continuous in my settings,
but the new card saw the numbers reset back to the start. Not wanting to
overwrite images, I wanted to number continuously. Anyways, after
scroogling my fingers to the bone, I see that people recommend taking
one picture, renaming it on the memory card to the next number in the
sequence, then all following pictures will follow that sequence. I did
this and it seems to work, so the answer was pretty simple in the end.

I'd still like to know where the highest number is stored. It must be on
the camera coz even when you move all photos off the card, it still
knows the highest number for that card.

Thanks for all the replies and the interesting diversional arguments.
