In RealTimeSync batch, no "Exit" option When Finished

I am trying to prevent the popup whenever RealTimeSync 9.8 finishes copying a file via a Batch job. I have selected Run Minimized, Auto-Close, and Show Error dialog. (I do not want to ignore errors, but I do want to prevent the usual summary popup from frequently jumping into my face while I am editing files.)

I read about selecting "Exit" under the "When Finished" pulldown while saving the Batch Job. However, all I can see are System:Sleep and System:Shutdown.

Then I read earlier posts about changes implemented between versions 9.4 and 9.5, and how differences in Gui vs. Batch execution make it problematic to eliminate the summary popup. I didn't quite get the gist of that discussion.

Is there, in fact, a way to eliminate the summary popup coming from RealTimeSync every time it executes a copy? But still do the popup when there is an error?

Perhaps there is an undocumented "<PostSyncAction>" that I can hard code in the .xml file?

Thanks in advance!

This is strange ... as if by magic, I no longer get the popups! I confirmed that synchronization occurred successfully via looking at the logs. Could I be mistaken about whether or not "Run-Minimized" and "Auto-Close" had been checked? I swear they were. But perhaps I was wrong. At any rate, this problem is corrected now.

I have the opposite problem!! My sync runs overnite in batch mode but the summary disappears before I get to it in the morning or never appeared. I did not check run-minimized nor Auto-close and did check ignore errors. It worked fine - exactly the way I wanted until I got a new computer, updated Win 10 to current, and downloaded and installed a fresh copy of Freefilesync Donation Edition. Everything else works great.
The "when finished" option on batch save screen does not show an "open summary" option as referenced in some other posts on this forum. I don't know what 9.4 vs 9.5 discussion is about because my about screen shows version 10.8 build 1-15-2019 Unicode x64 Donation Edition.
Looking forward to helpful comments...
