I took some photos on July 25 that got file names that were numbered 1160394.jpg through 1160408.jpg.
Later on the 25th I placed the SD card into my computer and moved the files to a folder on my hard drive. I moved (not copied) so that the originals were removed from the SD card. I then ejected the SD card, being careful to instruct the PC to eject it rather than just manually pulling it, and put it back into the camera. This is the procedure I have been using ever since I got the camera years ago.
Several days later, when I started to download the next set of photos using the same procedure as above, I noticed that the images taken from 7/26 through 8/1 also had file names numbered from 1160394.jpg through 1160408.jpg. Had I not noticed that and ignored any kind of warning that I would have gotten, I could have overwritten the images from 7/25. Luckily I didn't and renamed the files before placing them into the same folder.
But this should not have happened. The camera retains the last used file name number and automatically starts incrementing from that on the next shot. There is a way on the camera to reset that number, or at least parts of it, but I most certainly did not do that.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Any idea what caused it?

There is a setting in your camera menu that allows you to set the file numbering to start from 1 or to continue from the previous file number. You seem to have numbering starting from 1 set.
I made this mistakes once and lost a lot of photos because they first set was over written by a later set.
