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.

Anyone else experiencing this?
