How to make generated app to use current working dir as its working dir instead of app's dir?

[Joe V]

I generated an app called mysigner at $HOME/bin/signer/mysigner using packr. It is fast when I launched it.
mysigner takes file/folders as parameters. When I launch mysigner from $HOME/work dir, all the relative file paths are getting resolved to $HOME/bin/signer dir. That doesn't make sense.

What is the trick to make it respect the current working dir and not change to mysigner app location?

Thanks
