I was going to use this to display a loading icon, which works fine if I put a break point in the code. The problem is that it freezes when the rest of the code executes. Is there a way to make it work in parallel?

Thanks

I made the following modification to finish.m such that my startup.m - which already contains important data - is not overwritten:

%%%%%%% finish.m %%%%%%
str = pwd;%store present working directory in the variable str

% figure out where to put restorewd script
pathstr=userpath;
if(isempty(pathstr))
  pathstr=[matlabroot filesep 'work'];
else
  pathstr=pathstr(1:find(pathstr==pathsep)-1);
end

fid = fopen(fullfile(pathstr,'restorewd.m'),'wt');%open file for writing
fprintf(fid,'answer = questdlg(''Do you want to continue working in the previous working directory'',''Restore Last Working Directory'',''Yes'',''No'',''Default'');\n');%write this and the following 3 lines into restorewd.m
fprintf(fid,'cd(''%s'');\n',str);
fprintf(fid,'end');
fclose(fid);%close file
%fprintf(fid,'end');
fclose(fid);%close file

Now, create or append to your existing startup.m:

if exist('restorewd')==2
  restorewd
end

I execute eyekon but encountered the following errors:

??? Error using ==> load

Can you tell me what's wrong with my configuration. Thanks!

Works as claimed but would be interesting to know how it works.
(When i ran it Zonealarm tried to block its execution coz it was trying to access the cmd prompt)

This is what I wanted

Thanks Jos
Well it was a typo error that I didnot update the comments part. So the delay of 0.2 sec causes an update after 0.2 sec only. Thank you for letting me know that.
Well regarding using appdata, I am not quite sure how to pass variables in the other function with the "@" sign , so had to use this alternative. If you could modify it and let me know later at your convenience, it would rather help my knowledge in passing variables to a function

That you created this in a hurry, does not mean that you have to post it directly. The FEX can wait ...

The use of appdata should be avoided.
A delay of 0.2 causes an update every 0.5 seconds ???
