In ~/wrongdir there are mpv-shot0001.jpg, mpv-shot0002.jpg, mpv-shot0003.jpg, mpv-shot0004.jpg, mpv-shot0005.jpg where the screenshot key was pressed when a mpv was initiated in ~/wrongdir. The screenshots need added to ~/correctdir where there are screenshots already from mpv-shot0001.jpg to mpv-shot9001.jpg. A mere
~/wrongdir/mpv-shot* ~/correctdir/
would clobber the files in ~/correctdir. How can the screenshot files from ~/wrongdir be appended to the list of numbered screenshot files in ~/correctdir, following on the existing number sequence (in this example, as mpv-shot9002.jpg to mpv-shot9006.jpg)?
