Good picture album viewer/filter?
An alternative solution would be to use a batch renaming tool like F2 and rename all the images based on desired variables from the existing metadata
-
Gallery-dl how to put prefix number order in filename?
If you want a "global" index your only choice is to rename "manually" using another tool to batch rename, that is also what I do in the moment, I just sort the files by date of creation and rename them using F2 https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2, but you can also use Bulk Rename Utility or Advanced Renamer which is what I used to use while using windows.

MASSIVE file renamer, possibly batch?
250 would be no problem for the Advanced Renamer GUI. On the other hand, it really bogged down loading more than 2000 or so. And my memory was that the Advanced Renamer command-line version choked down quite badly on huge numbers of files. I wish I could remember how long the Bulk Rename Utility command-line operation took. It seemed quite reasonable to me; the critical thing for me was that I was able to process many thousands of renames in one unattended job, without having to break up the job into smaller chunks, with all the manual intervention involved. I didn't try to assign a particular number of cores for the operation. Also you might want to have a look at https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2 .

Automation - Rename and Organize Files?
F2 can rename based on a CSV file though if that helps
-
what the fuck?
F2 is a cross-platform file renaming tool. I have to deal with a lot of incoming image files and it helps keep my file system sane.

Moving large amount of pictures and movies to external HDD
F2 is a command-line batch renaming tool with built-in variables including date (easy to use and easy to revert if a mistake is made)

What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.
See if https://github.com/ayoisaiah/f2 helps (I haven't used it, just know about it)
-
auto-tagger of large media collections
I'm not sure if the labels are added to exported images, but you could then use F2 to rename the files in bulk
