How to stop "Pantone Colors May No Longer Be Available...." popup

Is there any way to dismiss this popup from happening every time I open a file? I get it. Pantone got greedy and things are changing. But I don't need to see the same message 50x a day. It's completely unnecessary and annoying.

As a last (first?) resort, the following script can be used to open a file while ignoring dialogs:

 

var savedDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
var fileOrFiles = File.openDialog("Select the file/s to open (ignoring warnings):", Multiselect = true);
for (var i = 0; i < fileOrFiles.length; i++) {
    var openFiles = app.open(File(fileOrFiles[i]));
}
app.displayDialogs = savedDisplayDialogs;

 

Once installed, the script could have a custom keyboard shortcut applied via Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts. You could replace the standard CMD/CTRL + O shortcut by assigning it to the installed script.

@Sarah25149933z35g – Annoying, yes. I’m not sure if it is unnecessary, the alternative of ignoring this isn't that great either.

 

Once a legacy file has had the association of each spot channel changed from referencing an unavailable colour book to using picker Lab values, the message would no longer be triggered.

Hi @Sarah25149933z35g Have you tried clicking on “Reset All Warning Dialogs” under the Preferences > General tab? Let us know if that stops it permanently for you (I'm on Windows 10, Photoshop 24.0.1 Release).

That only works on dialog boxes that can be dismissed.  This dialog box does not have a checkbox that says, "check this to stop this thingy."  It only says CLOSE and LEARN MORE.  Nothing you do makes it go away.  Image processing srcripts that open hundreds of files, get HUNDREDS of popups!

So why can't you add the code to suppress dialogs to the script?
