I have a web batch action but it’s stopped closing the files so in the end I’ve got 60 pics open & all the history clogging ram. Anything to change to fix that?

How is it specified in the Action? Is there a Close step or are you checking Save and Close in the Batch dialog? It’s not going to do it on its own.

It’s not, I use CS1 file browser select thumbs, right-click batch & it has always worked fine. No open or close in the action.

checking Save and Close in the Batch dialog?

I don’t see any option on the dialog:

It’s not going to do it on
its own.

OK I got it. The destination folder was set to none. I have that redundant in the action but apparently it’s no use & needs to be in the dialogue. I even figured this out before:
