I have 500 images in a catalog and I want to export them as 1.png, 2.png, 3.png...5 00.png   No filenames, nada. Can't seem to find a way to do that. Any suggestions? Do I hve to make a custom preset?

In Export you can apply a renaming template. This is built from various different information tokens, and the source filename does not need be one of those. 

 

In the Export dialog is a File Naming section. Put a check in the "Rename To" option and there is a drop-down menu next to this. The currently available naming presets are shown or else using the Edit option you can build, and then using the menu at top of that dialog, save your own new preset under a name. Then this preset can be selected for use during export.

 

For example, using just the Sequence# naming token produces 1, 2, 3 - or you can start from some other number if you want. The Image# token is very similar (for export, it is different for import) but starts from 1 every time without the option. There are also variants of starting 01, 02 or else 001, 002...
