I've noticed this is often due to 'auxiliary' files that the application 
needs. While DD includes an option in its Prefs to expand related files, 
this will fail if the auxiliary files are in a different folder than the 
opening application.

There are some other quirks, which have caused 
compressed files to not expand and open. The weirdest was a set of files 
that would show up in the SFGet dialog and would show as expanding once 
selected. However, after expanded, I was left with the SFGet dialog again 
and had to re-select and open the expanded files. As I said, pretty odd.

I don't know if I can help you much here, as I've since added AutoDoubler,
which causes any such problem to disappear.

Give a call to Fifth Generation/Salient; I'm sure their tech support will 
be able to puzzle this one out.

Good luck,
