If you are familiar with BASH scripts, thought I'd post this in case someone wanted to modify it for their needs.

READ THE WARNING IN THE SCRIPT COMMENTS OR YOU'LL SCREW THIS UP.
- BBCODE won't let me post it as-is.

  new=$(printf "%04d.jpg" "$a") #04 pad to length of 4
  mv -i -- "$i" "$new"

# WARNING: CHANGE below { to [ and } to ]...bbcode makes this a URL so it won't post right on forum.
  echo -n "{url="$fullImage"][img]"$thumbImage"[/img][/url} " >> post.txt

#Put into OSX Clipboard
cat post.txt | sort | pbcopy

#Send OSX Notification
osascript -e 'display notification "Copied to Clipboard" with title "Upload Complete"'

#Delete all JPGs in folder to clear for next batch.
rm *.jpg

I run this on OSX Sierra. It is messy, but functional for my needs. Some command may not be native to OSX. May require HomeBrew https://brew.sh/

Feel free to tweak and repost a better version that is more adaptable to all. Just sharing in case it helps someone get started on their own script.

If you don't know what you're doing—Don't. You've been warned.

Here it is in action.
