Hi all,

I created an executable file with build\_executable from PackageCompiler and it seems that it crash because of basename function,

**CMD:**  
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

code referring to ligne 59 in new\_inputs.jl

inputs=open\_dialog(“Pick the input csv files”, GtkNullContainer(), (“\*.csv”,), select\_multiple=true)  
info\_dialog(“Inputs loaded”)  
inputs\_names=Base.Filesystem.basename.(inputs)

Any help please?
