Why does appdesigner adds to path?

1. Launch MATLAB and then change MATLAB current directory to one that a *.mlapp file exists.
2. Double click on the mlapp and get the GUI opened up
3. Run the GUI.
4. Close the GUI app and the app designer.
5. Change MATLAB current path to some other directory
6. Query "path" in MATLAB command window and notice that the directory where the mlapp was once been opened from is still in the path

I think this is a bug

Hi Babak,

I have reproduced the scenario you have mentioned in the app designer application, and it appears that in MATLAB version R2023a, the issue is no longer present. If you are using an older version of MATLAB, I recommend that you update to the latest version.

I hope this helps!

It is not resolved on matlab 2023a. I was able to reproduce it now.

1. Change matlab command window to a directoty with the *.mlapp file.
2. Double click in matlab working directory on the *.mlapp file.
3. Apdesigner comes up. Run the App. Close the app and close appdesigner.
4. Change matlab working directory to something else.
5. In matlab command window command "path"
6. noticed that the path of the directory of the *.mlapp file is still in the path.
