Missing Required Files After Compiling

Hi,

I am in the process of upgrading from 2010b to 2014a and need to create stand-alone applications where i am replacing the built-in "input.m" with my own "input.m". I add my "input.m" file to the "Files required for your application to run" in the application compiler app, but when I run my compiled application my "input.m" is missing.

Originally in 2010b I was able to add my "input.m" as a required file in the project and then at the start up of the application just delete the built-in "input.m" as that was the one higher up in call list and by deleting it the application would automatically switch to my "input.m" function.

After switching to 2014a I noticed that trick no longer works as the application will keep calling the deleted file even after it is gone, and now I still add my "input.m" to the required files group, delete the unwanted file, and copy my file to the location the built-in file was in. I recently created a new stand-alone project from scratch (100% done in 2014a) and had no issues with missing files, but the project that I am having issue with was originally created in 2010b but I am packaging in 2014a.

Thanks, -Mike

So simply call it something else. No big deal. Just call your function myinput() or whatever and use that wherever you are currently calling input(). Pretty simple fix.

I agree that it is the simple solution this problem but I would like to know more as why the compiler is not adding files that are marked as "required" in some projects.
