Question: currentdir() different for Maple and Maple Player

The following worksheet was run from my desktop and finds both currentdir() and interface(worksheetdir) to be "C:\Users\dharr\Desktop" (either from opening it within Maple 2017 or double-clicking on it). The startup code is

DocumentTools:-SetProperty("TextArea0",value,currentdir());
DocumentTools:-SetProperty("TextArea1",value,interface(worksheetdir));

But if I load it from Maple Player 2018, then both currentdir() and interface(worksheetdir) are "c:\program files\maple player".

It means an interactive application that runs in Maple won't run in Maple Player.

Is this a bug or deliberate strategy to make it harder to open datafiles within Maple Player?

(Can't load the worksheet contents right now)

I'm really after a simple workaround for a file open dialog with embedded components - any suggestions?
