When creating my action, I inserted a stop. When I run the action, when it gets to the stop command, I get this dialog: "A command was cancelled or stopped while batching. Continue with next file or stop? I've tried everything but can't turn this thing off!!! I've tried deselecting the little box next to my "stop" command but it doesn't stop the dialog. Please see my attached screenshot for reference.

Ugh. I have the same problem. I wish to have a batch with a stop for human editing then continue on. It would be such a huge time saver.

Adobe please make this possible.

Delete the stop step in the action, then recreate the Batch.

You cannot use a stop in a batch operation. You'll have to run the action one file at a time.

Then it sounds like I'll have to create a specific action to open from a
specified folder, correct?

You can not use Stop to pause then to resume playing action when batch processing files.

I know I can do that but the problem is that when I run a batch of files and hit "stop" on the first one that opens, it stops running the batch and the rest of the files don't open.

I tried eliminating the stop but then the batch just runs and I don't have
a chance to work on the images. Does this make sense?

You can work with image using steps which are recorded into action including steps with dialogues where you can change values. Perhaps you are new with actions and you do not quite understand what is purose of actions in Photoshop? Actions are excellent way to automate boring and repetitive tasks. Actions have some limitations which are further expanded when running batch process as you have realized. For example: when running batch process you can not pause action and batch process to work with image then to resume playing action and to resume batch process. However, when running single action you can pause or stop playing it then to resume playing after some time and after doing modifications to the image.

Click on checkmark in front of step to disapear and to exclude that step from playing or delete step by dragging it onto trash can.
