Ecke, I haven't used it for a while, but "FastStone Image Viewer" (which is a free program), - was rather good about renaming files as a batch. Make sure you have the file name set in the menu to be "continuous" instead of "Reset". I've never head a problem like you described with the "continuous" set - neither in istDS, nor in K-7 or K-x.
The only time I had problems related to duplicates with *istDS is when the number wrapped around 9999 back to 0001. Actually, in that case it started writing to a folder with a different name, with an incremented folder number, but then upon changing the cart, - it forgot that it has to write it to a different folder name, and started the count from 1.
