How to stop MATLAB keep processing

see 'Current Folder' of my image

I'm using MATLAB in Mac OS and my version is MATLAB_R2015b. It keeps processing for no reason and eventually stuck in unavailable state.

It keeps processing when I'm going to

1. start MATLAB

2. save the current file

3. change my directory to another folder

If I don't cancel that processing in short time, it keeps processing forever and I have to shut down my MATLAB.

How can I stop this?

Go into your preferences and turn off Source Code Control.

Where can I find Source Code Control in preferences?

Oh, I found Source Control and it works very well now. Thank you!

I never had any idea that even existed!

[Walter Roberson]

It is relatively new, R2015a I think it might have been. The problems with it on OS-X have mostly been reported against R2015b.

Interesting. I’ll explore it when I’m awake enough to understand it. It’s not immediately obvious to me as to what it does or the reason it exists, so since it’s there, I’ll learn at least enough about it to see if it can be useful to me.

I had the same problem in Linux. This fixed my problem. Thanks!
