Here's a funny thing I discovered. If you try to open a folder from a VDS program that is run from another VDS program which is waiting for the first one to finish, the folder takes up to a minute to appear. No excessive CPU is being used, that I can see.

Here is an example that demonstrates it:

Code:
  title Folder Weirdness
  if @null(%1)
    %1 = Run
    %A = 40
  else
    %A = 80
  end
  DIALOG CREATE,%1,%A,%A,240,160
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON1,38,21,,,%1
  DIALOG SHOW
:loop
  wait event
  goto @event()
:button1button
  if @equal(%1,Run)
    run %0 Open,wait
  else
    shell open,@curdir()
  end
  goto loop
:close
  exit


Compile this, then run it. Click the button, it starts a second instance. Click the button on the second one, and the folder opens. Eventually.

If you replace the

Code:
run %0 Open,wait


... line with ...

Code:
    shell open,%0,Open,,wait


... it works like it is supposed to, without having to wait that long... Confused Maybe the "run" command doesn't use the API code properly or something?
