Sure.
I have many interests. Computer programming, movies, bicycle riding, playing other board games, etc., etc. Studying chess and playing in chess tournaments takes up a lot of my time. I've often felt I've spent TOO much time on chess. Yea, I love the game... 621 chess books is proof of that... but there are other things to enjoy in life too.
Right now I've rekindled another old love of mine - backgammon. I've been entering backgammon tournaments, buying and reading new backgammon books, buying new backgammon sets, etc. I love backgammon too. In many ways it's a lot more exciting and more fun than chess is.
Oh, I may certainly "come out of my chess retirement" some day, but right now I think I just need a long break from it. More than 70+ over-the-board chess tourneys is a lot of tournaments.
Yes, I was very active here, answering hundreds and hundreds of questions for others, usually regarding software and GUIs. I log in now and then but I'm not here nearly as much as I used to be.
Yes, each time you wish to covnert a file, you will need to either
edit that batch file,
or create a new one,
or don't use a batch file at all, and simply execute that command yourself from the command line.
Another alternative, I suppose, is to use a generic filename in your batch file, say my_games.pgn. You would then first rename the file you want to convert to my_games.pgn. (And probably rename it later, once it's converted.) But once you do that, the batch file would then always work, and you'd never have to edit it again.
Whatever's easier.
