Issue with multiple file format upload into MATLAB

Hello,

I am using a MATLAB tool called FracPaQ. In this tool the user can upload .svg through a GUI. All worked perfectly until the last August (when I worked on a MacOS Mojave) but now (I installed MacOS Catalina) I am not able to upload the .svg file (see the screenshot). I also tried different versions of FracPaQ and Matlab but I had the same result.

Did any of you have had issues with the selection of multiple file format to be uploaded into MATLAB?

Thank you for your help,

Marco

Hello,

same issues here. Since Catalina other filetypes are not selectable with uigetfile(), which is incredibly annoying. Unfortunately the bug persists in MATLAB2020a. There are other custom functions you can use as a workaround, e.g. uigetfile_with_preview().

Best,

Simon
