It could be done in Adobe Bridge with batch renaming using string substitution.
First, copy all of the photos for your slideshow into a single folder. You'll
need two string searches, one for the "_D72" and one for the "_IGP".
Have them both set to rename the photos to "Slideshow-" + "nnnn" starting with
"0001". Run the two batches alternately.
You may have to manually increment the "nnnn" for the output name between
batches so the Pentax ones don't duplicate the Nikon ones.
If it's going to conflict you'd likely end up with "Slideshow-0001" and
"Slideshow-0001 (1)" because of how Bridge auto-resolves duplicate file names.
That should show up in the preview down at the bottom, so you'll know to
manually increment the "nnnn".
Example:
Select however many of the Nikon photos you want to run in sequence ... say 10
of them. Run the Nikon batch on the first 10 Nikon photos you want so you get
"Slideshow-0001" thru "Slideshow-0010".
Then select your Pentax photos and run your Pentax batch, making sure the first
number is going to be "Slideshow-0011".
I always set batch rename to retain the original file name in the EXIF, because
that lets me figure out how I've screwed it up if I make a mistake.
There may be better ways to do this, but that's the best I can think of without
going into the other room & actually firing up Adobe Bridge & try to merge file
names from two different cameras into a single slide show.

First off thanks to all that had suggestions on my old macbook
purchase query. Some valid points made.
Friday oi attended the latest slideshow at our local seniors club, its
the first one i attended as i wanted to see the process as mine is
March 15th. The presenter was using her newish macbook and just ran
her slide show movie direct from iMovie via a projector and she has
some music. After reading the replies to my query i realized i could
probably do mine on my iPad mini 2. I keep forgetting i even have it
as i only use it when the grand-kids are over to play Mario cart. I
tested out my ipad on the projector and could get the slideshow
feature to work as well as just moving the photos by hand with a swipe
right.
So, problem 1 solved. Now problem two. I have two set of Newfoundland
photos, one from the Nikon and one form the Pentax, both have
different naming structures and file numbers. I would LOVE to have
these in some sort of order from both cameras and realize i would have
to do a lot of renaming,
Nikons are _D720250 etc
Pentax are _IGP9000 etc
I'm racking my brain trying to determine the best way to do this. The
reason for wanting them in orderish is that i took maybe 20 shots of
an item with Nikon and say 30 with the Pentax with its shorter lens so
i'd like to have everything flow nice. I used to have renamer for mac
but it does not work now with OS 10.11.6
Any ideas appreciated.
Dave
