Option ´edit on external editor´ not available in LRC

I installed Lightroom Classic (12.0.1) and Photoshop (24.0.1) on my new iMac M1 with OS Ventura. The catalog and photos are on an external harddrive. Since then the option to edit a photo in an external editor (f.i. Photoshop) is greyed out. When I copy a photo to my internal harddrive the option to edit this photo in an external editor becomes available. Is this a known bug in LRC in combination with Ventura or the M1 processor or is there an other solution?

I just noticed: In de library module there is a little questionmark in every map symbol. That supports your idea of missing photos. Do you have any idea how I can restore that?

Yep, that's missing folders and thus missing images. Lightroom is still looking for your images in the Pictures folder instead of on the external drive. Here's how to solve that:

Please post a screenshot, Library module, grid view, folders panel shown. Looking for ? and ! marks

This is the answer I got from Adobe:

During our previous interaction, we were discussing the Lightroom Catalog issue unable to edit in Photoshop In macOS Ventura

We have received your emails and we understood that this issue is linked with the Lightroom catalog on external drive.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. We are aware of the issue and are investigating a fix. This is a Known issue in the macOS ventura and we have already Logged a Bug.

You can check this help article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/lightroom-classic/kb/known-issues.html

At the moment, we have a workaround: Kindly Move/ Copy -paste your catalogs to the Internal Drive and the option will work.

You should be able to resolve the issue decribed by updating to LrC 12.0.1, whcih includes Ventura specific bug fixes.

You need to allow full disk access to Lightroom in the Privacy section of Security & Privacy in System Preferences.

Thank you for your answer, Sean. Both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop already have full disk access.
