Hi,
I understand that when the load function is called, you noticed that DotRefference or dotAssign functions have not been called. But using the properties function you can see that all the old dynamic properties have been set onto the instance.
The issue you are experiencing with loading a .mat file containing an instance of a class that inherits from ‘dynamicprops’ but now uses ‘redefinesDot’ instead is likely due to the incompatibility between these two mechanisms for dynamic properties.
‘dynamicprops’ allows you to dynamically add and remove properties to an object at runtime, while ‘redefinesDot’ provides a way to redefine the behavior of the dot operator (.) for accessing and assigning properties.
When you load a MAT-File that contains an instance of the class, MATLAB restores the object's properties based on their names and values stored in the file. However, since the class has transitioned from using ‘dynamicprops’ to ‘redefinesDot’, the dot operator behavior is not triggered during the loading process. As a result, your ‘DotReference’ and ‘dotAssign’ methods are not called.
This behavior is expected because the loading process does not involve the dot operator (.) for accessing or assigning properties. Instead, it directly sets the properties based on their stored values.
To address this issue and support the conversion of old MAT-Files files to the new class structure, you can implement a custom loading mechanism.
