I have scanned 50 documents, and saved the JPEG and PDF files in a
folder on my desktop. However, when I double-clicked on any file (JPEG
or PDF) in the folder, I would get a pop-up window saying "File Not
Found". If I then closed the pop-up window and double-clicked on the
file again, it would open the file properly in Preview.

However, if I picked a file and right-clicked on it and chose "Open
with Preview", this problem did not happen. It happened only when I 'double-clicked' on the file for the 'first' time.

This applied to all 50 files, without exception.

Does anyone know what was going on? I cannot reproduce this problem
since all 50 files now open properly in Preview. If it is a bug, is it
a bug in Finder or Preview?

Using macOS Ventura 13.2.1 on 2023 16" M2 MacBook Pro.

Are you using iCloud Drive to backup/syncronize your Desktop folder by
any chance?

What app did you use to scan the docs?

I. Point at one of the files in Finder and right click and then "Get Info".

What is the "Open with" app?

II. If you install Acrobat Reader, do the PDF's open with Acrobat reader?
