Hello,

I am using uigetfile() method to take in images as input and multiselect was on.

But while selecting the images,if the number of images is more than 65 an error was popped up and only one image was read.

I have to select images in the range 400-1000(or more).Will it be possible to select all images(huge number of images) using uigetfile()??If not what is the other way??.

Could you suggest me in this regard.

regards,
Vasu D.

And the text of the error message is ... ?

Do you really expect users of your code to individually select 400-1000
images? Even if you expect them to click on one image, scroll over to a
second image, and Shift-click the second image (to select that one and all
inbetween) that's still a lot of work.

Do you expect your users to select all the images in one particular
directory? If so, the tool you should be using is UIGETDIR.

Alternately, if all the images you want to select have names that match a
specific pattern, use one of the approaches described in Q4.12 in the
newsgroup FAQ.

I've run into this problem before. I think on Windows it's a limitation on the number of characters that can be entered in a text box. So a stupid solution is to give the files shorter filenames.

Better still is to use uipickfiles by Douglas Schwarz on the File Exchange. I've found this very useful. See

Good luck,
