File Exchange - Quickly see comments?

Maybe I am missing something, but how can I now quickly see if people have made new comments on my own files? The new look of the FEX is not my cup of tea, I miss the list order :-(

Thanks, Jos

Did you experiment with, for instance, Watch This File?

I’ve only two FEX contributions so far, so it’s not difficult to keep track of them (and so I don‘t ‘watch’ them), but with 50, that could be significant.

If tracking activity is important for you, submit a ‘Service Request’ to bring this to MathWorks’ attention. I understand the new online MathWorks/MATLAB site is a work in progress. Nudge it in the direction you want it to go.

You have nothing to lose!

(From my perspective, the site wasn’t ‘broken’ and so it didn’t need to be ‘fixed’. The reason for the change still mystifies me.)

Does this work?

[per isakson]

Indeed it does! How do I find my authorid ?

[Jos (10584)]

This indeed works. Thanks Chad. However, it is a work-around rather than a good solution. But thanks anyway!

Your author ID is the number in the address of your profile:

Thank you Jos! I just stared at that page, without noticing the id in the address fieild ;)

Answer 2

On "My File Exchange", in the Files tab, there still appears to be a list labeled "Comments and Ratings on XX's Files".

On a related note, does anyone know of a way to set the watchlist such that I get notified when someone else comments on one of my submissions, but not if I update? I really don't need an email telling me I've updated my own function, but can't seem to get rid of them.

[Chad Greene]

I agree! I get an email every time I update a file, then another email at the end of the day saying the file was updated. Every time I think, "I know."

Answer 3

[per isakson]

Yes, I find it important to monitor and respond to comments on my FEX submissions (and Answer answers). However, I don't want them to appear in my mail box.

Answer: When I click [My File Exchange] in the left menu bar of the main page of File Exchange I get the old page containing a column with the accumulated number of comments on my submissions. I'm not aware there ever was anything better. With the very few comments on my submissions that's enough.

This is the link I was looking for, although you have to be logged in to see it. Thanks Per, I would have liked to accept your answer too, but the computer says "no" ...
