Taking long time to open large directories
Recently bought a new MBP M1 16". I have a 3 external drives. One is a 1TB SSD USB 3.1 which contains my current photo library with about 12,000 files. Prior to updating to Ventura, when I would open the SSD's photo library in Finder the first time after booting, it was so fast it appeared to be immediate. Now it takes a about a minute. Once it is opened it again appears immediate until I reboot. My Photo backup drive which is a hard drive behaves identically. The strange thing is that if I reboot and instead of using Finder, I use a photo browser to access the same SSD photo library, it lists and displays the photos immediately. No delay at all. Yet after opening with the Photo Browser program, the first time Finder is used, Finder will take the same amount of time as it does when it's first application to access that SSD directory.
Seems like there is a problem with Ventura's Finder, but not sure?
Thanks,
