Some dialogs can be suppressed, not sure about all of them. 

displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
app.open(File(/*insert file path here*/));
displayDialogs = DialogModes.ERROR;

Can you attach the offending PSD files? They could be 1px in size, it seems that this is more about the file/layer structure than anything.

    // =======================================================
var idopen = stringIDToTypeID( "open" );
    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var iddontRecord = stringIDToTypeID( "dontRecord" );
    desc6.putBoolean( iddontRecord, false );
    var idforceNotify = stringIDToTypeID( "forceNotify" );
    desc6.putBoolean( idforceNotify, true );
    var idnull = stringIDToTypeID( "null" );
    desc6.putPath( idnull, new File( /*insert path here*/ ) );
    var iddocumentID = stringIDToTypeID( "documentID" );
    desc6.putInteger( iddocumentID, 63 );
    var idtemplate = stringIDToTypeID( "template" );
    desc6.putBoolean( idtemplate, false );
executeAction( idopen, desc6, DialogModes.NO );

    seems to work fine for opening the image with Layers and without the dialog. 


    I just add

    app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
    and it worked

      I think it's a little different here. I need not just not to display the window, but to tell it what to do in this or that case.

      So do you get usable AM code recorded by the ScriptingListener plug-in?

       

      If so you can set a conditional.
