"Legacy text" dialog needs an update

Question

I accidentally opened about 300 old EPS files in a folder, and most generated that "legacy text" dialog. That dialog needs to change the "Cancel" to a "Skip Single", and Adobe needs add a "Cancel All" to stop the whole process and also "Skip All".

Then, to add insult to injury, I did a force quit and upon restarting Illustrator and opening just one file, I got a message about how Illustrator recovered hundreds . . . whereupon it dutifully prompted me all over again for the whole set.

And of course, any app that has that legacy check needs the same update.

Oops. Thanks for the correction. The easy way to go to the link is to launch Illustrator and choose Help menu.

I have doubts that what you're asking is even possible.

That's not "open 300 files," it's open 1 file . . . 300 consecutive times. And, it's the OS file association feature issuing the command; not Illustrator.

Perhaps an [If you did one of a million possible things that no developer could anticipate, click here to force-restart the computer] button?
