File Selection Restriction in Import Wizard
This release introduces a change in how you select the source to import using the Import
Wizard. In previous releases, you could select and view the contents of any number of
files within the wizard before choosing the one to import. As of this release, if you need
to import from a different source (a specific file or the system clipboard) than the one
you had originally selected, you must exit and restart the Import Wizard. This change
gives the Import Wizard increased flexibility in handling different types of files, removes
redundancy in the import process, and also removes a potential source of unexpected
behavior from the product.
Compatibility Considerations
The user interface to the Import Wizard is very much the same as in previous versions of
MATLAB. However, you should take note of the following changes:
The panel named Select Data Source, that appears at the top of the Import Wizard
preview dialog box in earlier releases, is no longer available. As before, you select the
source file to import, or the clipboard, at the time you activate the Import Wizard.
This applies whether you use File > Import Data from the MATLAB Command
Window menu or the uiimport function at the command prompt. To make a new file
or clipboard selection, click the Cancel button in any of the dialog boxes, and then
restart the Wizard.
Calling uiimport without a file name displays the following new dialog box.
Choosing File opens the Import Data dialog box. Selecting Clipboard opens the
wizard with the contents of the clipboard in the preview panel.
