    Still happening in Illustrator 24.1.2 - macOS Catalina 10.15.4

  • Lisa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ok, so while I'm not getting the pop-up anymore, Illustrator becomes so busy whenever I work on a file with links that it freezes my ENTIRE system. I'm on Mac Mojave 10.14.6. I have to hard reboot the computer whenever this happens, which is often.

    Same here. My file is on OneDrive on Mac. Although I haven't tested it, I suspect Dropbox-resident files would be the same, since I think all of these cloud apps are editing files to change the state of the sync icon for Finder/Explorer.

    Yep, it's back for me as well (macOS 10.14.6, AI v24.1), started 1-2 days ago and now happens more than half the time I save. Note that I'm saving to a Google File Stream volume, if that makes a difference.
