Question

How to "hide" photoshop whilst running an action or script

Photoshop CC 2018 Ver 19.1.1 doesn't seem to "Hide" anymore so its constantly interrupting other applications whilst its running. Have googled this issue and it seems I am not the only one....does anyone know of a fix?

    I just tried it with some script/action they work longer time and I was able to use 'win d', 'win' with some number  (other application) or 'alt tab'. It doesn't work so smooth, and even I think was triggered after 2nd, 3rd attempt with delay, but it was the same in CS6 EXTENDED. Could you give more information, maybe post your script or action others could test it.

    kukurykus​, I am just using image processor to bulk reduce photo files from 4256px to 1800px. The script runs but when I hit "hide" it just continues to pop up images across the screen and pretty much renders the computer un-usable whilst its doing this. On my old PS6 version you could use hide and photoshop would function in the background.

    I don't use Image Processor as I'm scripter with ability to write programs for my exact needs, however I know its powerful tool many users use. I will check how it is for me in CS6 EXTENDED and last CC 2018 (19.1.1) version. Till then can you check (downgrade) how that's in 19.1 and if same check last version where it worked well. If you'll find it's new behaviour that can be reported on Photoshop Family Customer Community Adobe bugs site. But make sure of that I asked. Even then if this bug(?) was introduced with first CC it might be reported as well. What do mean by 'hide' - is there special button in Image Processor to go to Desktop? How about those methods I described. When used it still takes processed images to front?
