In every .txt file, only 'ECHO is off.' is written, and when the file is run as an administrator, nothing happens. Where is the problem?

"""Caption generator from file names.

from pathlib import Path
import re
import sys

path_str = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else ""
path = Path(path_str)
print(
    f"Captioning {str(path.absolute())}"
    if path.exists()
    else f"Path not found: {path_str}"
)
files = (
    p.resolve()
    for p in path.glob("*")  # "**/*" to include subfolders
    if p.suffix in {".jpg", ".jpeg", ".webp", ".avif", ".jxl"}
)
for file in files:
    print(file)
    with open(file.name + ".txt", "w", encoding="utf8") as f:
        print(file.name)
        lines = re.split("[0-9()]+", file.name)
        print(lines)
        f.write("\n".join(lines))
