Q: File Exchange --- posted file not there yet. Should I upload file again?

James Tursa — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 08:10:06 -0500

I posted a file to the file exchange yesterday, but it is not showing
up yet. How long does it usuallly take for the file to show up? Should
I upload it again or wait?

Your submissions must be processed by a
person at the Mathworks. (I assume it is our
favorite Mathworks administrator, Helen
Chen.) So anything submitted on a Friday
will probably not appear until the following
Monday. And, since she has other duties to
attend to, if you submit during the week, it
may take a day or so to appear if things are
busy. Note that the Matlab contest is being
run just now. I'll bet this has Helen and her
colleagues busier than normal for the next
few days.

Please don't resubmit it, as this will just
confuse things, possibly resulting in
duplicated submissions since Helen is not
screening for that. It will also make for
more work for her and more of a backlog
for others to wait. If you got to the page
that tells you your submission has been
sent, then it will appear in due time. Only
if it has been at least (business) 3 days in
the Boston area should you begin to
worry what happened, and I'd start with
a friendly e-mail first.

Thanks. I will wait until at least the middle of next week before
taking any follow-up action.

Hello James,

A typical turnaround on a file posted to the File Exchange
is one day, with exception to file files posted on the
weekend, as we may or may not have coverage on the weekends.
I did some searching, and unfortunately I don't think your
posting ever made it to the File Exchange review area. Can
you try resubmitting the posting? Once you send it in,
please send me an email and I will track it down so that it
can be pushed out ASAP. I apologize for any inconvenience
this may have caused you.

On a side note, would you consider updating your community
email address, I was unable to contact you directly as your
email address is not valid.

Regards,
John Ceredona
MATLAB Central Administrator

I re-submitted the file, typecast.c, but I don't think I redirected it
to the proper place. It should be in utilities - external iterfaces.

I checked my community e-mail address and it is correct. I don't know
why you couldn't reach me that way. The only thing I can suggest is
you try again and let me know. Thanks.

One follow up question also. Is there a place on The Mathworks website
where I can easily determine when a MATLAB function was first
introduced? i.e., if I use a particular function of feature of
MATLAB, how far back does it go before there are compatibility
problems with older versions of MATLAB?

There doesn't appear to be.

Duane Hanselman's book has such a list in his book

Hello James,

Your file is now placed in the correct category. In the
future, if you have an issue with a file posted to the File
Exchange, simply email files@mathworks.com
