MATLAB Central Newsreader - path browser

path browser

Matlab has different functions to load files etc....,
At the moment i am doing some reasearch for a PhD and i need to load a directory with a lot of images about 6000.

Until now i always loaded this directory like this

MapPath = 'E:\measuremnts\ref plane\Meting 1';

If this is used on a different computer you need to change the path manually what is very user friendly.
Is there a way to browse to the path like in an open window from windows; the problem is not loading a filename as variable but an entire path.
Already tried the functions
path
path('newpath')

userpath
userpath('newpath')

But i rlly want a popup open window from windows, I haven't tried a activeX control yet.

best regards

H

doc uigetfile
-> i know this command used it before it is to open a single file but i need the pathstring
like my mapname is "pictures"
I press my button select directory
the the UI opens for browsing
the i only select the map with 6000 pics in it.
so i get
x="pathstring"

Look at optional return value...

If that doesn't suit (I can't decipher _exactly_ what it is you are
asking for owing to language; obviously English isn't your primary so
that's not criticism, only explanation) at least my version of ML
doesn't have a builtin visual directory dialog.

I've not tried that in ML; I tend to not build extensive gui's using ML;
just not my way of using it so can't provide much additional guidance
there. I tend to use the OS commands instead which may not be what
you're wanting.
