Topaz Photo AI 2.2.0 batch processing fails when "Close image after processing" selected / activated

Topaz Photo AI 2.2.0
Windows 11 Pro NVIDIA RTX 3090 (latest patches and drivers at at 19th Dec 2023)

If you have “Close Image after processing” enabled in your preferences and try to batch process more than two images Topaz Photo AI freezes on processing the second image in the batch. You can then cancel out and process the images one by one. If you deactivate “Close Image after processing” then batch processing works as usual.

Steps to reproduce issue:

1. In preferences enable “Close Image after processing”
2. Load two or more images (I used .jpg files)
3. Select all images and click save
4. Then click process.
5. On the second image Topaz AI fails and just hangs in the processing file stage.
6. You can cancel and still process your images individually
7. Disabling “Close Image after processing” allows the batch processing to work as normal
