2 MATLAB 6.1 Release Notes
2-4
•When you add a breakpoint to a file that is not in a directory on the search
path or in the current directory, a dialog box appears presenting you with
options that allow you to add the breakpoint. You can either change the
current directory to the directory containing the file, or you can add to the
search path the directory containing the file.
If the file you want to run is already in a directory on the search path or in
the current directory, the current directory remains as is and there are no
actions you need to take.
•If you type
edit filename and filename does not exist, a prompt appears
asking if you want to create a new file. If you select
Yes, a blank file titled
filename.m is created in the Editor/Debugger. You can turn off this option in
preferences for the Editor/Debugger.
Current Directory Browser
In the Find/Replace dialog box, settings for Match case, Whole word, and
Subdirectories are remembered for the next MATLAB session.
Also, you can delete directories that are not empty. All contents of the directory
will be deleted along with the directory.
Workspace Browser
You can select the column on which to sort in the Workspace browser, as well
as reverse the sort order of any column. Click on a column heading to sort on
that column. Click on the column heading again to reverse the sort order in
that column. For example, to sort on
Size, click the column heading once. To
change from ascending to descending, click on the heading again.
Source Control
If you use Merant PVCS with MATLAB source control features, you no longer
need to specify the project configuration file using
cmopts. If you did specify it
in previous releases, you do not have to remove it as MATLAB will ignore it.
General
The computer function now displays the endian byte ordering of the computer
with the following form.
[str,maxsize,endian] = computer
