Batch: Save As.... Avoid asking me to save when closing original?

I’m converting jpegs to webps and Saving As into a new folder.

Is there a way to have Photoshop simply close the originals without asking me about them?

thanks

The batch command uses an action. So look at the action steps, where a close without saving command could be used.

That being said, this was my Batch action setup from that old topic:

I created a batch script here (currently at v1.8):

That would likely require a scripting solution. Do a search, I believe there is a script that extends Image Processor to add webp.

The extended Image Processor script was for PNG, from the late Mike Hale (I’m not aware of a WebP version, but it would be easy enough to swap out):
