Leica M9 - Setting a new folder

I'm trying to separate my old M8 images from the new M9 images. The M8 images started with L10xyyyy.DNG. As the folders rolled over the L10xyyyy.DNG eventually ended up L104yyyy.DNG. With the M9 I'd like to set-up the file prefix to be L105yyyy.DNG. Is there a way to do that? Like a bonehead I reset it, so now it's back to L100yyyy.DNG.

I'm going to drag my last M8 image to an SD card and put that in the M9 and see if I can trick the counter. Probably not the brightest idea, but we'll what happens...

Okay, answered my own question. Open the SD card, set the folder to 105 and dragged my last M8 image to the folder. Changed its file number to L105xxxx.DNG. Shot a frame on the M9 and the next image was in chronological order. If there are any subsequent ill effects, I'll update this post later.
