Numbering of images with file names

Hello, I would like to renumber the image files in a folder to create a changed order in the folder. However, the existing file names should be retained. Here's an example:
old name "MV5A9512.jpg" new name "001_MV5A9512".
Is this possible using the “Rename Stable” function. Thank you for the information about this.

you can use 'Batch rename'

With the "Batch rename" function, the entire old name is replaced by a number and a uniform new name. I would like a new numbering (no problem with the function) and continue to use the old name. As described in the example. If this can be achieved with the “Batch Rename” function, I would be happy to see an example entry.

You basically insert
xxx_ (for three leading digits) as a prefix to a template created using the top
Name template option set to the existing
Filename With Extension option...
Always test using copies of images...
