hmm, could you refer me to some docs or explain that ways? (at least in
short form) Probably using "real" windows dialogs will fix this but I see
Aniplayer uses wdialogs same as me and it updates its main panel correctly.
The main problem I see in the fact application event loop is halted - I
can't update it even with "brute force"... Maybe I could do that updating in
that dialog's loop but this I find quite dirty solution. (every dialog
should then have function "update_others()")

Hmm, so it's Teradesk bug then. What a pity Teradesk is the only desktop
which supports >128 filenames so I have no chance to test it on some other
desktop...

thanks! this helped me a lot, now it works as expected.
