You could try a couple of simple stacking scripts as an alternative. These scripts have been designed to work with no open files. They also require a folder of images to be selected. This could be changed to offer a file selection rather than folder selection dialog.
This one creates linked smart objects:
/*
Stacker - Place Linked.jsx

*/

if (app.documents.length === 0) {
(function () {
var savedDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs;
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
var origUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Please select the input folder:');
if (inputFolder === null) {
app.beep();
return;
}
var inputFiles = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|jpeg|tif|tiff|png|psd|psb|gif)$/i);
// inputFiles.sort().reverse;
inputFiles.sort();
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
var baseDoc = open(inputFiles[0]);
var baseDoc = activeDocument;
baseDoc.duplicate("Stacker", false);
baseDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
for (var i = 0; i < inputFiles.length; i++) {
placeFile(new File(inputFiles[i]), true, 0, 0);
//align2SelectAll('AdCH');
//align2SelectAll('AdCV');
}
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.backgroundLayer;
activeDocument.activeLayer.remove();
//app.runMenuItem(stringIDToTypeID("selectAllLayers"));
//reverseLayerStack();
app.beep();
alert(inputFiles.length + ' files stacked!');
app.displayDialogs = savedDisplayDialogs;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = origUnits;
// Functions
function placeFile(null2, linked, horizontal, vertical) {
var s2t = function (s) {
return app.stringIDToTypeID(s);
};
var AD = new ActionDescriptor();
AD.putInteger(s2t("ID"), 1);
AD.putPath(s2t("null"), null2);
AD.putBoolean(s2t("linked"), linked); // false for embedded
AD.putEnumerated(s2t("freeTransformCenterState"), s2t("quadCenterState"), s2t("QCSAverage"));
AD.putUnitDouble(s2t("horizontal"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), horizontal);
AD.putUnitDouble(s2t("vertical"), s2t("pixelsUnit"), vertical);
AD.putObject(s2t("offset"), s2t("offset"), AD);
executeAction(s2t("placeEvent"), AD, DialogModes.NO);
}
function reverseLayerStack() {
var idreverse = stringIDToTypeID("reverse");
var desc4653 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = stringIDToTypeID("null");
var ref2335 = new ActionReference();
var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID("layer");
var idordinal = stringIDToTypeID("ordinal");
var idtargetEnum = stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum");
ref2335.putEnumerated(idlayer, idordinal, idtargetEnum);
desc4653.putReference(idnull, ref2335);
executeAction(idreverse, desc4653, DialogModes.NO);
}
function align2SelectAll(method) {
/*
AdLf = Align Left
AdRg = Align Right
AdCH = Align Centre Horizontal
AdTp = Align Top
AdBt = Align Bottom
AdCV = Align Centre Vertical
*/
app.activeDocument.selection.selectAll();
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Lyr "), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt"));
desc.putReference(charIDToTypeID("null"), ref);
desc.putEnumerated(charIDToTypeID("Usng"), charIDToTypeID("ADSt"), charIDToTypeID(method));
try {
executeAction(charIDToTypeID("Algn"), desc, DialogModes.NO);
} catch (e) {}
app.activeDocument.selection.deselect();
}
})();
} else {
alert('Please close all open files before running this script...');
}
This variation uses standard layers:
