Get path from running app

As we saw in Get path from runnig script to obtain in a automated way the path where our MATLAB file was running,

there is a comand for obatin the path of the execution of our MATLAB App?

The aim is used it in the StartupFcn function.

Thank you!

if you mean path of location which the app comes up, can't you just use pwd?

i use it before in StartupFcn. and it work correctly even after compile for standalone desktop app.

Yes, path location.

And yes, I've just comproved it and it results in the path of the App.

And, what is curious, is that I can define diferent path and describe it in pwd, but when I call an function as imread() to open a image from a folder inside the app folder, it is opened although the pwd has been changed...

imread("Imatges\Inicials\P1011624.JPG");
