Thank you for your answer.
Is it possible, or easy to dynamically change the pad_width and 
rename the already renamed files?
The hundredth example.ext turns into example_100.ext and all the 
previous files have one digit less. (example_99.ext for instance)

If it's not possible, or not easily possible, then I'll use a higher 
value of pad_width, just to be on the safe side.
