uiget

Single MATLAB UI for selection of either a folder or files

https://github.com/StackOverflowMATLABchat/uiget

You are now following this Submission

uiget opens a dialog box that allows the user to select folder(s) and/or file(s) in a single UI. This is designed as a generic alternative to MATLAB's more specific UI selection tools: uigetdir and uigetfile.

Syntax:
file = uiget()
[file, path] = uiget()
___ = uiget(basepath)
___ = uiget(basepath, Name, Value)

Available Name, Value Pairs:
MultiSelect - Specify whether a user can select multiple files or folders
ScalarPathOutput - Specify whether a scalar path is output when using MultiSelect
Title - Specify a custom dialog title
ExtensionFilter - Specify a custom file extension filter

See README.md for detailed documentation and examples
