Issues when indexing collections on external USB drives and Maintenance does not work on MacBookPro 0S 15.1 with M4 chip

[mlevante]

I am using the MacBook Pro with M4 pro chip and 48 GB RAM with the Sequoia OS 15.1. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the following issues:

1. Application freezes and shows none of the collections if some collections are on a USB stick and the USB stick is not present when launching GPT4All. After inserting the USB stick, collections all appear, but I am unable to delete or add any collections. Restarting or reinstalling the application does not change anything either. Was able to recover the GPT4All application by deleting the .dB and .dB-journal files in "~/library/Application Support/nomadic.ai/gpt4all/" folder and then reindexing all collections without specifying collections on the USB drive.
2. I am unable to run the Maintenance tool (I get the error that the application “can’t be opened”) and the tool quits
