[Scribble] Solution for Slow Finder Panel

Method-1: Reset OpenAndSavePanel Service

(*this is what worked for me)

I find this solution in reddit post: link, so the steps are the follows:

1. Backup file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService.plist :

   1	zip ~/Downloads/backup.zip ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService.plist

2. Delete file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService.plist

   1	rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService.plist

3. Restart your computer

   1	sudo shutdown -r now

Check the difference:

• before resetting the openAndSavePanel service: gif
• after esetting the openAndSavePanel service: gif

Method-2: Clear Finder Cache (Rebuild the Spotlight index)

(you can also try this if the other method didn’t worked out)
