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.
