Open eps files in Photoshop

Question

Is it possible to avoid the dialog box 'Rasterize Generic EPS format' while opening eps file in Photoshop.
I wanted to run the batch process on a set of eps files for converting to GIF. Whenver the eps file is opened this dialog box appears.
Thanks,
Sashi

Sashi,
I have been working on the same thing you have and found another forum used to batch process pdf files, which easily altered to funtion for processing eps files.  The script asks you to select a folder where your eps images reside.
var epsOpts = new EPSOpenOptions();
epsOpts.antiAlias = true;
epsOpts.mode = OpenDocumentMode.RGB;
epsOpts.resolution = 72;
epsOpts.constrainProportions = true;
epsOpts.width = new UnitValue( 1700, 'px' );
#target Photoshop
app.bringToFront;
var inFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Please select folder to process");
if(inFolder != null){
var fileList = inFolder.getFiles(/\.(eps)$/i);
var outfolder = new Folder(decodeURI(inFolder) + "/Processed");
if (outfolder.exists == false) outfolder.create();
for(var a = 0 ;a < fileList.length; a++){
if(fileList[a] instanceof File){
var doc= open(fileList[a],epsOpts);
var docname = fileList[a].name.slice(0,-4);
while(app.documents.length){
var saveFile = new File(decodeURI(outfolder) + "/" + docname + ".tif");
SaveTiff(saveFile);
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES) ;
function SaveTiff(saveFile){
tiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions();
tiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = false;
tiffSaveOptions.imageCompression=TIFFEncoding.TIFFLZW
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, tiffSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
Hopefully this script will help, as it is helping me.
