Lightroom Classic: Synchronize Folder hangs
Lightroom Classic CC, latest version, freezes when I use "Synchronize folder" and have the "show import dialog before continuing" option selected. (Not only does it freeze but it ends up using a ton of CPU, more than 200% per Activity Monitor, and the fans start going like crazy.)
Lightroom synchronizes the folder just fine when I DON'T have that option selected, but I need to be able to use that option. The problem occurs whether or not the "scan for metadata updates" option is selected.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, latest version of Mojave. In Lightroom, the issue occurs for me in the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC. Per a different forum post in which someone solved their problem by downgrading to v 7.5, I tried that but the problem remains.
I did NOT have the problem in Lightroom 6 (from 2015), which was what I was using until just recently when I got a new computer and needed to upgrade my OS. I'm still trying to get back up and running with Lightroom on the rebuilt system, and this problem is keeping me from moving forward.
I've tried resetting preferences to no avail.
This is a folder with a lot of images (more than 15,000). Do I just need to give it all day to run for the first time or something? There are only 26 images in the folder that have changed.

On Lightroom 6 (2015) things worked fine with this workflow, even though it was slow. I.e. things would show up right away in the import dialog. It would take a while to process, granted, but it didn't freeze up, and I could just do other things in the meantime. This was with the same number of photos and same general proportion of them that changed.
On these more recent versions of Lightroom, it is a totally different issue. The problem is not that it is slow but that the program completely freezes up, with nothing happening at all (no thumbnails ever show up) and I have to force quit the program, which is a very different matter.
Is there anything else I can try?

I have the exact same problem as HB on Windows 10 Pro 1909 / LR 9.2.1
The problem started when the number of files in the folder reached about 2000 photos. Never seen that problem before and there's no problem when synchronizing other folders.
See https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/cannot-synchronize-folder-after-reaching-abou... .
Just before I reached that 2000 images limit, the synchronization of a few additional images was very quick. So it's not a performance issue.
