What to do if the program in Python + Pyinstaller does not see the folder?

Question

Building projects

Wrote an application in Python, compiled with pyinstaller:

pyinstaller --distpath=C:\Users\nkikd\Desktop\explorer --onefile C:\Users\nkikd\Desktop\explorer\main.py

.
It sees and processes the files inside the folder with the program itself, but not the child folders. On one forum, they suggested replacing --onefile with --onedir, but I need the "compact version". Relative path was not used, folders and files are present in the program directory.

What can be done in this case?

Answer 1

Try like this

$cd C:\Users\nkikd\Desktop\explorer
$pyinstaller --distpath=C:\Users\nkikd\Desktop\explorer --onefile main.py
