IDE freezes Mac opening file dialogs first time

Everytime I start the IDE, the very first time I invoke a file dialog (answer file, answer folder, ask file etc.), the Mac freezes for about one minute before the dialog window appears. The next time, the file dialog windows open regularly, without delays.
I tried to start up my mac without extensions or startup apps (safe mode), but the problem recurs.
The problem existed even with livecode 6, but now with the 7 and later became worse (higher delay). I've a MacBook Pro and OSX El Capitan.
Someone happened something like that? Any suggestions?
Greetings
Paul

Paul,
Check this and you might find a workaround which could help!
Didn't work for everyone, but works for me.

Hi Thierry,
what workaround did work for you? The one to check that LiveCode is **not** present in the section "Allow the apps below to control your computer" of Accessibility pane, or
the other to remove iCloud metadata file (rm ~/Library/Caches/CloudKit/CloudKitMetadata*)? Because the first one it's a problem for me, because I use AppleScript in Livecode and without the accessibility permission it didn't work.
Edit: the "Accessibility" workaround seems to work, for me. Thanks! The problem of AppleScript remains.... hope Livecode team does something about it.

Hi Paul,
Yes, that was this one.
But as some said , useless for them.
I can't tell you more , sorry.
It's in the hands of our smart Scottish developers...

I get a short delay when saving a new stack. Do you have fileVault (full disk encryption) turned on? I think that might have something to do with this.

No, yours is a different problem. Maybe my problem has something to do with certificates of LiveCode IDE, and security of Mac.
