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 am not getting it. So far you know that action can not be paused during batch process, do you agree?

If you can not pause action during batch then stop step in your case is not required, right? Actually it serves nothing beside to display dialogue which you do not want to see. Why don't you listen my suggestion to exclude that step from action?

If you still want to have stop step in your action then turn modal control on what will display dialogue or message during batch process. Do you see dialogue when running action with Continue and Stop options? Click Continue and action will continue playing plus batch will not be interupted.
