Is it possible to choose an image from outside of the directed folder in matlab?

I’m working in image texture classification. I indicate a directory folder in my code. When I run the code it starts by opening the folder. But I can choose any image from any folder beside the directed folder. My code also gives me result/answer by classifiying the image. Is it possible? Is it happens for any error/ problem of my code?

Yes, it is possible to select a file from anywhere:

[fileName, pathName] = uigetfile('*.*')

Then you can navigate in the dialog to all available folders.

But I'm not sure, what "the directed folder" exactly is and if "my code gives result" is a part of the problem or not. What does "is it happens for any error" mean?
