Hi,

do you start the GUI out of the ML editor where the M file is open and your current folder is different from the folder where the GUI is located? If so, the editor recognizes this and ask you if you want to change to that folder where the GUI is located since its not an the ML path. Simply change into the folder with the GUI before running it and the message shouldnt appear.

I've been asking the Mathworks for that for a long time, where if you click on a text file at the bottom of the editor, it automatically changes the current folder to the folder where that file lives. Apparently they don't want to do that for some reason, not even as a user-selectable preference which I pleaded for. So we're stuck with the "Change Folder" "Add to Path" "Cancel" "Help" question when you try to run that file.

I think you can add these lines to your startup.m file so that all your folders and subfolders are already on your path.

addpath(genpath('c:\yourTopLevelFolder'));
savepath
