Post title: batch
Merging files before aligning is an option, but it's not a very good one. If one file pair is badly mismatched (one file several dozen or several hundred segments longer than the other) then it can throw off the alignment throughout the rest of the project. It's best to keep files isolated to isolate problems.
Re: GUI batch mode, LF Aligner is on the back burner... I did write a simple GUI program that generates a .bat file for batch alignment, but it's primitive and ugly. I mostly wrote it for my own use. Maybe I will polish it up and publish it at some point, but the earliest time that could possibly happen is next week.
You can of course generate the .bat yourself, which is what I did up to a month or two ago. Copying file names to the clipboard from Total Commander, pasting them in Excel and then using either Excel or search and replace in a text editor to add the rest of the command makes it relatively painless... relatively being the keyword.
