My tkinter app wont change the file it is loading

Question

I am writing a tkinter app in python that is a flash card quiz. It needs to be able to read from a txt file one folder ahead from the python file. In the cide you can change which file is the file loaded but this is not working even if you choose the same file. When i tried to change the file in filehandling() it broke but when it launched it worked I tried it with keywords.txt which it was already using and test.txt.

This is the file structure of the code:

from customtkinter import *
from CTkMessagebox import CTkMessagebox
import glob
import os

information = []
file_name = 'keywords.txt'
app = None


def hide(tk):
    # hides window
    try:
        tk.withdraw()
    except:
        pass


def show(tk):
    # shows window
    tk.deiconify()


def FileHandling(filename):
    # file handling
    information = []
    with open("Text/"+filename, 'r') as f:
        temp = f.read().split("\n")

    for i in range(0, len(temp), 2):
        temp_list = []
        # makes 2d array
        temp_list.append(temp[i].capitalize())
        temp_list.append(temp[i+1].capitalize())
        information.append(temp_list)
    return information


def changeHandler(value):
    global file_name
    file_name = value
    print(value)
    return file_name


def changeFile():
    # add change file code here
    files = getFiles()
    filePicker(files)


def getFiles():
    temp = []
    os.chdir("../Code/Text")
    for file in glob.glob("*.txt"):
        temp.append(file)
    return temp


def filePicker(files):
    hide(app)
    FilePicker = CTkToplevel()
    FilePicker.geometry("500x400")
    FilePicker.resizable(False, False)
    FilePicker.title("FIle Picker")
    Title = CTkLabel(
        master=FilePicker, text="Which file would you like to load?", font=("Arial", 10))
    Title.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.05, anchor="center")

    Options = CTkComboBox(FilePicker, values=files,
                          variable="Unselected", command=changeHandler)  # type: ignore
    Options.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor="center")

    ExitBtn = CTkButton(master=FilePicker, text="Menu",
                        fg_color="#550000", text_color="#000000", command=lambda: Menu(FilePicker)).place(relx=0.5, rely=0.7, anchor="center")


def Menu(tk=None):
    global information
    information = FileHandling(file_name)
    global app
    # makes app unless app is made then it reveals it.
    if app == None:
        app = CTk()
        app.geometry("500x400+750+300")
        app.resizable(False, False)
        app.title("Menu")
        set_appearance_mode("dark")

        Title = CTkLabel(master=app, text="Flash Card Project",
                         font=("Arial", 40))
        PlayBtn = CTkButton(master=app, text="Start",
                            fg_color="#005500", text_color="#000000", command=lambda: Run(app))
        Changebtn = CTkButton(master=app, text="Change File",
                              fg_color="#AA4203", text_color="#000000", command=changeFile)
        ExitBtn = CTkButton(master=app, text="Exit",
                            fg_color="#550000", text_color="#000000", command=app.quit)

        Title.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.05, anchor="center")
        PlayBtn.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.4, anchor="center")
        Changebtn.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.5, anchor="center")
        ExitBtn.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.6, anchor="center")
        app.mainloop()
        exit()
    else:
        show(app)
        try:
            tk.destroy()
        except:
            pass

Code:

This code is working fine for me, although I commented out temp_list.append(temp[i+1].capitalize()) as its causing IndexOutOfRange error:

from customtkinter import *
from CTkMessagebox import CTkMessagebox

information = []
file_name_old = 'keywords.txt'
file_name = './Text/'+file_name_old

def hide(tk):
    # hides window
    try:
        tk.withdraw()
    except:
        pass

    # shows window
    tk.deiconify()

    # file handling

        temp_list = []
        # makes 2d array
        temp_list.append(temp[i].capitalize())
        print(temp[i])
        # temp_list.append(temp[i+1].capitalize())
        information.append(temp_list)
