I work with matlab objects. I often save these in .mat files. If one of these .mat files are selected the objects will be loaded by the preview function. When this happens I cannot edit the classdef files as matlab has them loaded in memory and will refuse to refresh. I get an error telling me to clear, but clearing will not clear the .mat file preview.

This is sort of like back in early windows-95 when you tried to move a directory, but you couldn’t if it was expanded because then it was considdered open by a program, that program being explorer that was being used to move the directory.

This is currently not possible. One “trick” is to put a bang “!” at the beginning of the line do the tab completion, press “home” and delete the “!”. The bang operator is a shorthand for sending the command to the system shell, and supports tab completion for file names.

e.g. the built in save, print, etc. commands do TAB completion knowing that the argument is a filename.

Could we have the ability to add this filename completion for our own functions?
