Issues using dir() in a .exe file

My app (designed in app designer) when the start button is pressed, asks the user to select an input folder, then reads all files from the folder. This is the code that accomplishes that:
inputFolderName = uigetdir();
D = dir(inputFolderName);
When running the app from app designer, this works totally fine. However when packaged to a .exe file, it cannot find any files in the folder. I have tried putting .mat, .png, and a number of other files into the folder to see it is a filetype issue, but it always thinks it is empty.

I had the program print a few things to confirm. The filepath it is finding is correct. However, the size of D is 0.

I have a vague memory of seeing a bug report along these lines, but I do not recall which MATLAB version.

Hi Sadie,
When an app is packaged to a standalone .EXE file it is possible that the working directory gets modified and that may be the reason why relative paths are not being accessed.
The function ‘fullfile()’ can be used to construct an absolute path from parts of path. Below attached is the documentation to the same:

Hope this helps.
