Preview - will no longer open multiple files

Hi everyone

In the new OS - I cannot seem to open multiple files in Preview in the same window.

They all open as separate files.

That's pretty frustrating if I have a lot of files - in the older OS I could open them all together in one window which was much easier and tidier.

Has anyone had this same problem and if so - is there a fix?

Thank you.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.1

There are several factors that go into how Preview decides to open files. Sometimes it is just timing. If it takes too longer to open one file, it may choose to put it into a separate window. If the files are significantly different formats, it may open them in separate windows.
