JPEG Dialogue Pop-Up During Batch
Batch runs smoothly for me, now, but every once in a while, a dialogue box with JPEG Options will open in the middle of an Automate | Batch | MyActionName run, asking how I want a .jpg file saved, but processes all the other .jpg images in my source folder and saves them to my target folder, automatically. In my test set, there are several JPEGs. They are a random grab -- some mine, some not. Opening the problematic image in PS, then saving it -- same name & extension -- eliminates the pop-up on a re-run, but in the run of a hundred pictures, I would have to sit and watch the screen. Why does PS twice react differently to the same file & extension? All extensions in the source folder are lower case -- .jpg.
When I tried this on some of my old photos, the same dialogue box popped up for each & every one, before I stopped the process. Instead of checking the file properties of each of the photos, to check the Mode (I assumed this might be the problem), I used Image Processor to convert all from .jpg format to, again, .jpg format, but sRGB colour, which resulted in a perfect run. My question is are there other commonalities/requirements in file format that must be met for Batch processing? Is there a way to override this and have an Action always save .JPEGs (or any other format) in the same way?
