P: Preparing File for Editing takes inordinate amount of time

[Gleeful_mind5C4F]

13.0.1 on Mac Studio M2 Max 96GB RAM.

When trying to open a photo in a third-party app for editing, the "Preparing file for editing" progress bar instantiates but doesn't progress beyond 0%. If I view the source image folder in finder, I can see that the tif or PSD has been created almost immediately as expected, but then nothing happens...the progress bar stays stuck and the third-party editor doesn't launch. I've been able to reproduce with On1 Suite, Luminar Neo and SilverEfex. On rare occasions, when I've had the patience, the third-party application has eventually launched after 20-30 minutes.

This worked as expected in versions prior to 13.

I've tried:

• AutoFx - 10 seconds
• Nik - greater than 1 minute
• Topax - greater than 1 minute

I am going to have the team take a look at it. 

Thank you for the report.
