View Full Version : PS actions help - prevent dialog appearing

I'm trying to write an action that opens files from bridge (easy), then stops and lets the user select an area. Once the area's selected they hit play again, it crops the selected area to 45 pixels wide, then saves the file for the web.
I can mostly get it working, but after the action stops another dialog comes up that says "A command was cancelled or stopped while batching. Continue with next file or stop?", with "continue" and "stop" buttons. How do I supress this error message?
Thanks for any help :)

Dear Tim,
I've had the exact same problem with my actions that include interspersed operator manipulations. I could be wrong, but it only seems to occur with the FIRST occasion in an action that uses several Stops with text messages. I decided that it was unavoidable and learned to live with it, but it is a pain.

Now mine's running for the first one, but it never starts the second file i've selected :(

Dear Tim,
That's strange. The second message that you get should be asking whether or not you want to Stop or start the next file, and of course you should answer that you want to stop. Then you have to hit the play button to go to the next step of the action.
Am I all screwed up?

I think it's me that's screwed up!
Here's my action, and the two dialogs, which appear one after another.
