We introduced the function browser in MATLAB R2008b. Dustin,

Unfortunately no. We introduced the function browser in MATLAB R2008b.

It would require authoring an html function reference page, including that reference page in the search index, and updating the xml file which defines the hierarchy of functions displayed in the Function Browser.

Does the function browser support own (self written) functions? 2. Are there alternatives to maintain/organize self written functions (type of repository)? Best, Felix Fernandez Dear All,

two questions in this regard:

1. Does the function browser support own (self written) functions?

2. Are there alternatives to maintain/organize self written functions (type of repository)?

Best,
Felix Fernandez

Regarding the setup export/import: It would also be useful to have when working on multiple computers (e.g. a desktop and laptop home/office/travel) or upgrading computers and start installation from scratch. Something to consider if your list of enhancements ever gets small :-) Cheers, gk. Hi Mike,

From version to version we could have large foundational or architectural changes that go unnoticed by users, as well as new features. In addition we qualify all our products together in one release so that the R2008b Image Processing Toolbox works with the R2008b version of MATLAB. We wouldn't be able to guarantee reliability and quality if your install was only partial. 2) When a new version is installed, the installer looks at versions already installed and imports as many old settings as is compatible into the new version. If that does not happen automatically for you, then it is possible your set-up is not one we account for, and you should contact technical support. Thanks for the great questions. George,

Why there is no option to update an installation? Having to do a complete install (and a possible uninstall) every 6 months is annoying especially if the upgrade is not major. 2. How come you do not offer the option of saving and exporting all the settings (e.g. desktop/print setup, fonts, MLint preferences, paths, etc) to some file that can then be imported to the newly installed version? The aforementioned question 1 is annoying but having to go through all the setups after install is aggravating. If there are ways to achieve these please post it. I know a lot of people who would appreciate it. Cheers, gk. Hi Ken,
