> I have many Matlab figures in a folder and want to be able to view a preview/thumbnail of them to identify the one I want. Currently I have to open each one separately in Matlab which is laborious. any ideas of how to do this in Matlab or if there is an external image viewer that can read .fig files? thanks.

use the dir command to get the names of all fig files

then loop over them, load the files with the open command
