Is there some relatively easy way to add such a numerical prefix to
a list of files?
Does this example from the info pages, Regexp Replacement, help?
For example, to add consecutively numbered strings like `ABC00042'
to columns 73 to 80 (unless they are already occupied), you can use
M-x replace-regexp <RET> ^.\{0,72\}$ <RET>
\,(format "%-72sABC%05d" \& \#) <RET>
Maybe in your case this works:
M-x replace-regexp RET ^.*$ RET \,(format "%03d%s" \# \&) RET
i.e. use the complete original file name (\&) and prepend it by a
zeroes padded three digit number (\# = number of already completed
replacements, i.e. starting with 0). The format specification can of
course contain additional text. But: dired does not understand \, nor
\# in its regular expressions – or I am missing something!
You could create a shell script instead with code constructed with
replace-regexp ...
