Photoshop script - suppressWarnings, disable error dialogs

I have a script.jsx for photoshop, that exports some stuff from many PSD files. Sometimes (1 in 20 files), upon opening the psd file, the following dialog shows up:

var fileToOpen = new File(...);
open(fileToOpen);

annoying dialog

I'm running this script on hundreds of files, and I need it to somehow ignore those dialogs. "Keep layers" would be ok, but in general, anything that will prevent the dialog will help.

I've found in a manual the option suppressWarnings, but it is only available to PdfOpenOptions or PhotoshopSaveOptions - there is no such thing as PsdOpenOptions or PhotoshopLoadOptions, neither does simple object {suppressWarnings: true} work. I have even tried adding displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO but that doesn't help either.

Is there a way to prevent this dialog? (ie. stop it from blocking the script's execution)

try try catch construction. If this does not help, then set the user interaction (though this may be cumbersome): https://forums.adobe.com/thread/289239?tstart=0

Example:

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
var fileToOpen = new File(...);
open(fileToOpen);
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
