Computer freeze on managing sites

[Webfie]

Computer : Mac OS 13.6.9

Dreamweaver version: 21.4

set up and manage a site I use the Site > New Site, or Site > Manage Sites dialogs but when I save the computer freeze entirely and the wheel keeps spinning.

Also upon uploading and downloading files to the external server via FTP it has the same  problem.

How to fix this?

I checked and the computer has all the requirements to run creative desktop app and also dreamweaver app.

I did also the fixes.

Still the same problem

I did the "Restore Dreamweaver Preferences" again and now site management, uploading and downloading files runs fluid!

===========

Do you have full read/write permissions for that folder on your macOS hard drive?

Dreamweaver works best when your local site folder resides on the primary drive; not cloud or networked drives.

[Webfie]

Yes I have full permissions for that folder, Dreamworks is on my local primary hard drive.

There was a freezing issue but that was known to affect 14.0 to 14.3. The latest version for Mac OS 13 is 13.7. Can you try updating and see the issue resolves?

I did the updatte to 13.7.  Still the same problem
