Remove elements from PS file

[jnwbr]

I have a simple script that I run from within an Action that flattens layers, deletes paths + channels + layer comps from files.

app.activeDocument.flatten();

app.activeDocument.channels.removeAll();

app.activeDocument.pathItems.removeAll();

app.activeDocument.layerComps.removeAll();

It works fine within PS.

If I run the Action through Bridge under Tools/Batch on files, the resulting process always throws up a dialog asking if I want to remove the paths from the files.

Why is this happening only when I run the Action through Bridge?

Thanks.

displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO; with(activeDocument) {
     flatten(), arr = ['layerComps', 'pathItems', 'channels']
     while(itm = arr.pop()) eval(itm + '.removeAll()')
}

Time to mark it as solved to let others know it's solved btw did you solve that problem:

Removing number sequence in 'Export layers to files" in CS5​ / you may post your script...

I think I solved the issue by using a different script posted here in the forum.

#target photoshop

var theImage = app.activeDocument;

// supress dialog windows

displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO

// flatten image

theImage.flatten();

// delete paths

theImage.pathItems.removeAll();

// delete alphas

theImage.channels.removeAll();

// delete layercomps

theImage.layerComps.removeAll();

This seems to work fine from within Bridge.
