improvement request : Script files generated with batch processing

It would be more useful to only store the strictly necessary files in the input file list stage when saving the script file.
It would be nice if the generated script file could be made as tight as possible ( perhaps as a check box option in the pop-up dialog ).
That is, the file input list step would only contain the strictly necessary input files, not the whole list. A file input list could be converted to a single file input if possible.

You can remove all but the current file from the File Open list by selecting the ones you want to get rid of and clicking the trash can button.

Thanks, I knew about it.
But ...
Errors pop up upon opening a script with missing files.
It is not convenient to open potentially hundreds of script files to clean them up.

Avoiding this extra manual cleanup would be very useful.

For the next release, File Open checks for missing files in the list and lets you de-select them so you avoid getting multiple file missing errors when you run the batch operation.
