Importing user defined color swatches from alias files consistently crashes Illustrator.

I keep and alias of my ASE files with Illustrator's Presets > Swatches folder for easy access. I use an alias because I ofetn have to adjust the color pallettes, and having to chnage multiple files can result in mistakes.

 

Just switched to a new MBP M1 Max running Monterey 12.4 — and now when I try to load my ASE files from the presets folder, Illustrator cashes every time. But if I load the same files NOT from an alias, they load correctly. Before I switched machines, using the same version of Illustrator, I could load swatches from teh alias in the presets folder with no problem.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Also, try running Illustrator under

Newer macOS have locked up everything. Does Illustrator have full disk access? Are these folders unlocked?

Also, try running Illustrator under the root user account and let us know how it goes.

 

Looking forward to your response.
