This is a plugin replacement for uigetfile and uiputfile, which should be called the same way.
Just replace uigetfile with uigetfile_modern, and uiputfile with uiputfile_modern
Also features a folder select dialog uigetdir_modern
It is a matlab-native dialog, which is standalone from the main matlab window. The problem it solves is that since it is not connected to the main window, the main window is stopped from popping up everytime a file dialog is used.
