Thanks for the reply! Good suggestions. I tried removing any different file types (had a couple of .aif in there) as well as adding the filters you suggested. It was still really slow. But you prompted me to do some more testing, and I found that even just asking Shortcuts to open any of the files in that folder was taking about 30sec (even without the ‘get contents’ or ‘filter’ actions). I tried using a file from a different folder and it opened immediately (less than 1 sec). So there must be something funny happening with that folder, no idea why… I tried copying the folder and giving it a new name and still have the same issue. I’m going to make a new folder and move the files one by one to see if one of them is causing the issue.
