Silent Mode isn't silent

Hello... Again,

If you get a double post here, I'm sorry, I tried to post this once
about a half hour ago but it hasn't showed up so I'm posting again...

I'm trying to batch process a script using overwrite mode. The script
simply resizes the image and then I'm overwriting the image with the new
size. The problem is that on every image it warns me that "because of
the limitations of the specified file format..." Yeah, yeah, I KNOW!!!
Now save the file and shutup. I'm running this on several batches of 1k
files. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don't want to hit "Yes" several
thousand times to get this done. How do I make it stop?

Thanks!!

I finally got it working. Whoda thunk you just needed to record a file
save and tell the batch process to obey the script?

Enjoy!!

For others who may read this some day, one can also use the File >

Uhm... Nice suggestions, however using XXX Optimizer would not have
helped me since I am batch processing and batch processing an Optimizer
requires that you manually edit the script and build the filename
yourself... Unless I am missing something vital here, am I?

Thanks!!

I believe so. There was some discussion of that here not long ago,
which I do not remember well.
