Javascript close and save changes without JPG quality dialogue

I am working on a script that exports images from Illustrator and resizes them in Photoshop to be the proper height/width/dpi we need. I send the command through BridgeTalk, and the resize works great, but when I try to use doc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES); PS stops on each image with a JPEG quality dialogue box.

Is there anyway around this dialogue? I know I can do a save as, but that forces JPG to be the file type and sometimes we export PNGs using the same script, so it becomes a much more complicated script if I have to add conditions and save options for both file types and send via bridge talk. I just want it to save in whatever file format it already was and keep moving. Is there a force save that overrides any dialogs? I also tried a line of code for turning dialogs off (displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO), but that didn't seem to work either. Is it possible to work around this or do I have to go the other way and make the script conditional and use save as. The annoying part is it works perfectly for the PNGs! Thanks in advance for any help!

Correct answer JJMack

When I run your code on a jpg document that had been saved by Photoshop in the past. That is I open a jpg file that was was saved by Photoshop and the use fit image to resize the image and run your close code "app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES)" I get no POPUP quality dialog. It must be because your file was saved by illustrator as a jpeg the Photoshop does not know at what quality the jpeg file had been saved with.

From what JJMack discovered, it does look like your best option would be to use a saveas in your script.

I Had tried the displayDialogs but no dice. I know I can do save as but I use both pngs and jpegs

so i would like to avoid having to send a big conditional statement through bridge talk. I just want to know if it's possible to suppress that specific dialog somehow.

Thanks for offering those suggestions!

Use Save As Jpeg function then close the active document

SaveAsJPEG("Name",10)

activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

function SaveAsJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){

var doc = activeDocument;

if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;

jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();

jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;

jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;

jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;

jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;

activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile+".jpg"), jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);

}

Are you including this?

app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
