Sometimes I lose the ability to open folders from within finder.
System: Mac Mini 2018
OS: Ventura 13.6.4
It seems to be happening more and more where I will open finder and double click on a folder, for example, Documents and it doesn't open. The size is listed as 0KB. I can open a terminal and navigate to it and do an ls and everything is there, just I can not access it at all from Finder or any other application. I have seen this happen to many folders, the latest is Documents, but Downloads and folders in my Favorites will not open. If I reboot my system, things work fine for a while, and then it happens. I would estimate it happens once a month.
I have searched and everything I found states its a permission issue, but if that were the case, rebooting would not fix it.
Any idea why and what I can do to fix it rather than rebooting my system each time.
thanks
