Inesica,

I assumed that you could do the batch processing yourself by using the
appropriate ImageJ-macro functions. The macro language is really easy!

This macro works for me:
//----------------------------------------------------
setBatchMode( true );
m = -4;
dirPath = getDirectory( "Choose a Directory" );
nameArray = getFileList( dirPath );
for ( i = 0; i < nameArray.length; i++ ) {
   number = parseInt( substring( nameArray[i], 1, 5 ) );
   number += m;
   name = "z" + IJ.pad( number, 4 ) + "_t0000.tif";
   status = File.rename( dirPath + nameArray[i], dirPath + name );
   if ( status == false ) { exit( "Could not rename" ); }
}
setBatchMode( false );
//----------------------------------------------------

Hope you are well-served

Herbie
