Looking forward to your review of TP10.  I like your review of FastStone.  I bought MaxView and have it interfaced to TP10.

Will,

You penned a fair and honest review of TP10.  I find TP10 more usable than TP8/9.

I use TP primarily as an image organizer/viewer and a dupe image finder (the indispensable feature of TP!).  In my experience TP7 is still superior from a usability standpoint.  I can tab between panes, F2 renames folders as well as files, ALT+n keys can be used to sort files, I can find duplicate video files, thumbnail creation is lightning fast (however, TP10 creates video thumbnails much faster), etc.  The only TP7 drawback is of course the 2GB limit on the database.

I now use TP7 for video files and TP10 (with SQLite) for image files.  TP10 added the "JournalMode=Off" parameter to the database so thumbnail creation performance is much improved (I wish TP10 would honor "SyncPragma=Off" as well).  Thank you to Cerious for making that change as I thought the SQLite performance was a big drawback.

There are still issues with TP10 that Cerious is aware of.  Hopefully with time these issues will be addressed.

Cheers,
Gary

We are kindred spirits, Gary. I cannot live without the "sort by similarity" function, and I haven't found another software that even comes close to working as well as ThumbsPlus.
