hmm, ok. It seems to work most of the time. It might just be from 
some buggy stuff that may or may not be part of VD. It's not a 
big deal either way. It might be due to the fact that creating a 
"new folder" doesn't actually create it, which I wasn't aware of. 
I'm creating the folders manually then importing them.

Another simple request. When renaming a module, could VD 
automatically rename the module name inside the file and/or 
reopen the file? (renaming causes the file to close and needs to 
manually be reopened)
