[TADA]

which GUI?

is this a gui taht runs this on a callback function?

what exactly are you running here?

[Ahmer Shahid]

I am using app designer in Matlab 2018a and I replaces a button for upload image. When I push the button a screen open for select an image then when I select image the gui minimize but it's working because when I maximized it the image showing on axis.

This is the code in function..

  [FileName, FilePath]= uigetfile({'*.jpg','*.bmp'}, 'Select a file');
            if isnumeric(FileName);  return; end 
            image = imread(fullfile(FilePath, FileName));

            imshow(image,'parent',app.axes);

figure(app.UIFigure);

This should reopen the GUI windown after it minimises.

The problem is not with imshow() rather it is with uigetfile() function. I was also facing same issue with GUI built with both guide and appdesigner. Your solution works for me. Thanks!

imshow() resizes the figure under the condition that "hold" is off and the axes is in the "default" position as-if it is the only axes in the figure.

To avoid this, either turn hold on for the axes, or make the axes a non-default size, or else (my recommendation) do not use imshow() for any purpose other than interactive exploration.

I debug the code the problem is in this line.

[FileName, FilePath]= uigetfile({'*.jpg','*.bmp'}, 'Select a file');

When this line runs I have to select an image then when I Select an image the gui minimized(showing on taskbar). It's not still showing on screen.

Which operating system are you using? uigetfile() uses operating system facilities in order to be consistent with system "look and feel"

This one.

This one also works for newer versions of matlab

figure(app.figure1);
