found an interesting issue with the `Directory` input. When run through the orkestra UI, the indicated path does not seem to pass through to the script

in the figure above, the user has input their path, but the script fails because it’s trying to use my path that got set as a default.

the node functions as expected in the Dynamo editor, and through the dynamo player

It seems like this is related to the orkestra ui. let me know what you think.
