On my 2017 iMac, I migrated from Mojave to Monterey, now on v12.4. Since migrating I've had trouble with opening large numbers (>30 or so) of images, almost regardless of the file sizes. Two issues:
1- I previously opened all images in a folder by Cmd-A to select them, then Cmd-O, then a confirmation message to actually open them in Preview. Now nothing happens and I have to press Cmd-O and its confirmation a second time after which the images open.
2- In Preview, it frequently hangs up, i.e., I cannot go quickly from image to image without the beach ball appearing. Sometimes I have to Force Quit, sending a notice to Apple.
Image files are below 10MB each so pretty small. And this all worked very well in Mojave.
Short of Apple support, anything I can do?
