This alert pops up during my batch process whenever saving & closing is part of an involved action set (or the batch settings).

Is there any way to prevent or bypass this, at least during batch processes?

Ai v24.03 on macOS 10.15.2, if it helps. Thanks.

That did the trick. ~~Placed that at the beginning of my action and DISPLAYALERTS at the end.~~ (Immediately realized that defeats the purpose). Thanks!

Hello! Sorry to trouble you, but can I ask exactly what you did that solved your problem? I'm trying to do something similar and am having similar issues. Reading through this thread, I thought that what you did was to create a script that was just that one line that CarlosCanto offered you ("UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;"), saved that into your scripts folder so that it would show up in the Scripts menu in Illustrator, then used the Insert Menu Item in the Actions editor to insert a call to that script as the first step of your Action. I tried doing that, but still got alerts interrupting my Action. Did you do something different than this? I thought maybe I messed up at some step.

I've started my own thread trying to figure out how to suppress these interrupting alerts here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/trying-to-suppress-alerts-while-running-a-batch-action/m-p/13856044#M369775

Thanks!
