This solves a problem in DJI drone cameras where the file numbers never go above DJI_0999.JPG.

This will add 1,000,000 to the file number. For example it'll change DJI_0999.JPG to DJI_1000999.JPG

And it's smart enough to know that the file has already been processed (won't add 1,000,000 to the file
number if the number is already above 1,000,000).

It's also smart enough to handle files with extra text and numbers added, like "DJI_0088 - Part 2.MP4"
