Renaming Files and Folders in the Current Folder Browser Now Reflected in the Editor
If a file is open in the Editor and you:
• Rename that file in the Current Folder browser, then the file name updates in the
Editor
• Rename the folder containing that file in the Current Folder Browser, then MATLAB
updates the file specification for all open Editor documents in the renamed folder
• Delete that file from the Current Folder browser, then MATLAB deletes the file from
disk and renames the Editor document to Untitled*
If more than one unnamed document is open in the Editor, then MATLAB renames
the deleted document Untitledn*, where n is an integer.
However, modifying file and folder names from either of the following does not update
names for open documents in the Editor:
• The operating system file manager — such as Windows Explorer
• The MATLAB Command window — using movefile, for instance
Options Names Changed for Locating and Opening Files and Folders Outside the MATLAB
Desktop
To locate a file or folder in Windows Explorer or Apple Mac Finder, you previously used
the Current Folder browser context-menu option, Locate on Disk. Now the option is one
of the following:
• On Microsoft Windows systems—Show in Explorer
• On Macintosh systems—Show in Finder
In addition, from the Current Folder browser, you can open the current folder in
Explorer or Finder. Right-click in white space, and then select Open Current Folder in
Explorer or Open Current Folder in Finder.
