I think the PsPM folders in this list shall be excluded into the path list for being added to MATLAB.

It is recommended to only add those folders instead of folders and their subfolders.

This is now finished.

Before starting PsPM

When PsPM is running

After quitting PsPM

The key tasks

1. The subfolders may cause issues if they are all added to MATLAB. The essential subfolders need to be identified. Other folders which may cause conflicts shall be excluded to the subfolder list (the essential subfolders).
2. SPM may cause incompatibility when users run PsPM with SPM path added. This shall be solved by adding a warning in pspm_init and asking users to remove SPM.
3. The subfolder list shall be updated at the beginning of pspm_init. This needs to be managed by PsPM automatically without asking users to do that.

To add on the previous points:

1. If SPM or Matlabbatch installations (outside PsPM folders) are on the path already, interrupt start up and give an error.
2. If any conflicting PsPM subfolders are on the path, interrupt startup and give an error.
3. Add root (src) folder to list of essential folders to be added to the path on startup.

This is currently finished.

The logic is

• If MATLAB has not added any path of SPM or subfolders, PsPM will automatically add the required folders, such as Import, to the path of MATLAB. When PsPM exists, these PsPM's path will be deleted from MATLAB's path.
• If there is SPM added to MATLAB, PsPM will ask users to delete these SPM path from MATLAB, and when PsPM quits, such SPM path will be add back.
  • If users refuse to remove SPM path, PsPM will stop and send a warning in Terminal.
• The logic of subfolders follows the logic of SPM folder handling.
