Hello everyone and thank you for your help.
Is was caught twice off guard when doing live transmission for our church while using "slideshow" as source. Both times the slides got mixed up. I couldn't put my finger on it. After it had happened again yesterday, I decided to do a test. I renamed file to 01.jpg, 02,jpg ... 13.jpg.
The problem was that PP does not start with 01 but 1, meaning that 11 displays after 1 and not 2 and so forth.
I tried to do a custom name 01.jpg to try and "force" PP to use my numbering. But I was not successful.
Do you have a other suggestion except renaming them manually myself.
Thanks, Deon.
 
Create a new text file, rename it to something like "add0.bat". Right-click, edit, copy/paste this code, save. Run as necessary in whichever directory has your exported .jpg's.

Code: 
ren 1.jpg 01.jpg
ren 2.jpg 02.jpg
ren 3.jpg 03.jpg
ren 4.jpg 04.jpg
ren 5.jpg 05.jpg
ren 6.jpg 06.jpg
ren 7.jpg 07.jpg
ren 8.jpg 08.jpg
ren 9.jpg 09.jpg
 
Thank you very much.
I have done exactly as you suggested, but nothing happens.This is my code and the filename is: add01.bat
ren Slide1.JPG 01.jpg

EDIT: I get this when running the bat file directly from cmd prompt in Win 10:
'add01.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Nothing happens after running the bat-file which is located in the same directory as the files. Please advise what I am doing wrong.
Thank you.

Click to expand...
I managed to get it right.
What I did: right-click on add01.bat and opted "Run as Administrator".
I had to choose: "Open" and not run as Administrator or just double-click that bat file.

Thanks for your help and time.
