>>My preference is to filter out the directories and never change current directory. If there's anything in your code that errors out for any reason, you can't be sure that your cleanup code will Set Default To (lcWhereWeStartedFrom). Your app may not find its pieces if set("path") wasn't recomposed to contain absolute paths. Files you may create after that may end anywhere or nowhere. While fixing this, you may create a prg with the same name as one in another directory and next time you will have the pleasure of fixing one while the other actually runs, etc etc. Which is why I prefer my app to live a sedentary life, no travel.

If you're VPM long time user, is there a way to not use DD at all for structural changes and let the forms to skip all the validation logic? Of course, I can simply overwrite the Valid logic, but is there a simpler way - using some form's property, for example?

I'm a long user of VPM, but not long time, rather long ago, when it was switching from 5.x to 6.0. It's probably changed a lot, and I have worked with other frameworks since, so I really wouldn't know how it works now.
