What is Matlab doing by saying "processing..." at the bottom of "Current folder" window?

I just installed Matlab2015b on OS X El Capitan, the problem is while launching Matlab, there is something under processing, if I don't cancel it, finally my Matlab will hang on there and is not responsible... why?

[Pushpa Neupane]

same problem in my system for R2022a as well as R2022b, please need genuine suggestion, how to fix this issue?

[Xiangyu Zhou]

Fixed the problem !...

navigate to the MATLAB > General > Source Control

disable the automatic source control by selecting "None".

This worked for me as well with 2017b! What is mathworks source control and why is causing matlab to lag?

[Sterling Baird]

Why? Also, what does disabling this affect?

[Shiraz Kaderuppan]

Please see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/select-or-disable-source-control-system.html for some details on this function. But I do think that MathWorks should consider turning off this source control intergation by default.

[Shiraz Kaderuppan]

Thanks very much! :)

MathWorks should disable this source control integration by default. As for those who are asking what this does, some information on it is available online at https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/select-or-disable-source-control-system.html.

[Yago Trias Vila]
