PS close all files after Image processor massive exporting

I can only test as far back as v2021 on this PC…

EDIT: I'm going to need to re-test as there are different options that need to be documented.

Are you kidding me??

Photoshop closes unsaved files without any alert and you move this from “bug-report” to “questions”???

That’s really frustrating. Photoshop should never close unsaved files without warning. Adobe needs to fix this ASAP.

OK. I always use Batch, not Image Processor, and it never touches open files. Try that instead. 

Not sure I understand what you’re saying.

The whole purpose of the Image Processor is to save the batch of files to the specified location, as an express automated function. You normally don’t want the whole batch to remain open, since that will build up a huge scratch file that could easily choke an average machine, such as, say, a laptop.

If you have other, more special needs, I would recommend File > Automate > Batch, where you could run an action specifically suited for your needs. In the Batch dialog, you can set destination to “None”, leaving it to the action to determine what happens to the processed files (including leaving them open).
