Hi Rainer,
I too thought TP10 was dead so was quite surprised when an update was released. Like you, I have not found any new issues (but several annoying issues remain, i.e. disappearing thumbnail on certain file rename conditions).
Cerious modified the install to include sqliteodbc(v0.9995) as the odbc driver. Yesterday, I noticed sqliteodbc(v0.9996) has been released.
TP10 4013 does seem to be a bit smoother in operation and the activity indicator finally works.
I can offer no input regarding HDD other than I cannot imagine using a HDD over a SSD (at least for the database).
Thanks to Cerious for this update.
Cheers,
Gary
