Help!! Import more than 1000 images

I have 3600 images.
Names of these images looks like
NAME.0000.png
NAME.0001.png

NAME.3600.png

I am trying to import it.
UE good import files from 0 to 1000
But after NAME.1000.png UE think about images like about sequence and trying to put all images with names from NAME.1001.png to NAME.3600.png to single UASSET file
And of course it crashed

I am tried to import using drag-n-drop files - crash after 1000
I am tried to import via Python script - crash after 1000

1000 files - is this limit for one folder?
Why UE thinking about files with name >1000 like about single file?

Ok
I hacked it
In Python script in loop I copy each file to temporary file on other folder, UE import it single and save it as I need.
But in ay case - this is very stupid problem
