Can Mergecap merge captures in a different directory than where it is located?

I have a folder specifically for my captures, it is a separate directory from that of the Wireshark directory. I am trying to use Mergecap to merge multiple captures in this directory and it is not able to detect the files I am referencing.

When I put my captures in my Wireshark directory, it works perfectly fine, but it is then surrounded by files and folders that are not associated with my caps, and it makes it hard to manage/organize.

Is it possible in some way to make Mergecap read/detect files in a directory that it doesn't exist in?
