MATLAB FEX now supports previewing files in a new standalone tab!
Over the past few days I noticed a minor change on the MATLAB File Exchange:
For a FEX repository, if you click the 'Files' tab you now get a file-tree–style online manager layout with an 'Open in new tab' hyperlink near the top-left. This is very useful:
If you want to share that specific page externally (e.g., on GitHub), you can simply copy that hyperlink. For .mlx files it provides a perfect preview. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing, I'm quite excited by this too! I've recently worked with EXTRACT (recently led by @Fatih Dinc) and mTRF Toolbox (@Mick Crosse) on showing select/featured live script examples on their GitHub READMEs, but those links needed to be updated with new releases. This change brings stable links, so this 'example-forward' approach to a README can now be more widely recommended/suggested.
Nice indeed.
I suggest fixing the preview for images - it currently streches the images to 100% height even if the width does not fit the display pane's width, and enlarges the images to fit the height. I think it would be best to (1) only shrink the image as needed, not enlarge it, and (2) take into consideration the max-width as well as the max-height
For *.md files, the preview renders text styling as expected, but images are not displayed for some unknown reason.
Thanks for catching this, @Yair Altman. I reported the markdown issue to development a few days ago - they are working on it. I'll pass along your input on images now, too.
This is awesome!
@xingxingcui, the link you provided took a while to load for me - it's a big file. Here's one that loads quicker: https://viewer.mathworks.com/addons/182645/1.0.0/files/basic_TPS/example.mlx
When the .mlx file is larger it does open slowly — at first I thought the link was broken because it took over 10 seconds for my link to open.
David, both the link that you and @xingxingcui provided do not work for me in Safari (macOS 13.7.8).
However, both your links DO work for me in Chrome, Firefox, and Brave... The broken-link problem appears to be browser-specific.
I believe the latest version of Safari available on macOS 13.7.8 is Safari 18.6. If your version is an earlier version, could you update Safari to 18.6 (if this is an option for you) and try again?
I had been running Safari 16.6 (18615.3.12.11.2). I just updated it to 18.6, and now both links work for me in Safari.
I had issues, too. I've passed along to the development team. They are investigating.
Turns out I just didn't wait long enough for the file to load.
