Initialization code not loading from GUI

Hi people. I have been learning MATLAB and have stumbled on an issue I imagine is an easy fix.

I have been developing a GUI code and ideally I want it to function so that when I double-click the project.fig file it will execute all the coding in the initialization. Basically these subfunctions:

      gui_State = struct('gui_Name',       mfilename, ...
                         'gui_Singleton',  gui_Singleton, ...
                         'gui_OpeningFcn', @DynoData_OpeningFcn, ...
                         'gui_OutputFcn',  @DynoData_OutputFcn, ...
                         'gui_LayoutFcn',  [] , ...
                         'gui_Callback',   []);

The code executes fine if I run it from the editor but they do not run if I run it from the directory folder next to the command window. Why?

Becuase project.fig file is just the figure file. There must be a project.m file. That is the executable file. You run that, it will be very similar to running the figure from the editor.

Thank you for your help, I am still a novice. It feels tacky to click on the M-file and run the thing through the editor. I wish I could click a file in a Windows folder and then it would run as it should.

How do I best run the program so that I can just go strait to the GUI?

In the command window, type project (as that is your GUI fig name and the m file associated with it's name)

Thank you sir.
