Load state for new directory always fails
Load state for a new directory always fails.
- Make a directory, such as junkDir. Make a second directory inside this one, for instance, work. Copy can.exo into work.
- Linux, master, builtin server.
- Open junkDir/work/can.exo. Apply.
- Save state file in junkDir.
- Reset Session.
- Move can.exo from junkDir/work to junkDir.
- Load State. Search Files under Specified Directory. It will automagically load the correct directory. Fail. Here is the output.
Cannot find '' in '/MySnipHere/junkDir'. Using ''.

Since this makes state files useless for anyone and any dataset other than the original, This is a showstopper bug for 5.7.
