Preview problem after Sonoma upgrade
I recently upgraded a 2018 Mac Mini (16GB, 128GB) from Ventura to Sonoma by downloading the installation DMG and running it (not a clean install). Since then, the Preview app has been oddly sluggish. The first image file opens quickly, but after that the second and third take progressively longer (spinning beachball) and the forth typically pushed the app into non-response mode. Size or type of image file does not seem to matter. Another symptom is that the "Open Recents" list is empty, always. Never ran into this problem when this machine was on Ventura.
I found the Preview saved state folder in ~/Library and got rid of it. That seems to have resolved the sluggishness issue, but the empty "Open Recents" list is still with me. Whatever problem this is has either been only partially fixed or fixed in a way that may not last long. Any thoughts? I'd rather not try a clean install, despite that being my preferred route, because this is a company machine and a clean install means I lose use of the computer for a week, minimum.
