The above assumes that the created .png files are in the same
directory as the input .dia files.  If the input .dia files are in a
different directory that where I want to place the created .png files,
would the following still reduce the dia startup overhead?

dia -t png inputdir\input1.dia inputdir\input2.dia -e outputdir

or should the command line be:

dia -t png inputdir\input1.dia inputdir\input2.dia -e outputdir\input1.png outputdir\input2.png
