Matlab Debugger Do not Stop

Having done some Matlab development lately, I observed a strange bug. I had a main script program as follow:

clear all;
close all:

MyFunction();

... do something 
In the code debugging process, I tried to place a break point in MyFunction's code, and although the break point appears to be set in the editor GUI, the program do not stop when running!!!

After some research I figure out that the clear all command interfered with Matlab debugger and prevented the program to stop into a function. So the solution was to delete the clear all function and it the worked correctly.

It is really a shame that a 3000 CHF expensive program cannot manage the debugging process in a better way.

DSC-HX9V can't delete folder .. at the first look but

At the first look it seems that the folders / files on the new Sony digital camera DSC-HX9V, but also possibly for other model, are impossible to delete nor modify. From Windows explorer the folders and files appear as "read only". But in fact per default the sony device set the USB connection to "auto", but the mode you really want is the mass storage mode.

To do that on the sony camera:
menu --> main settings -> USB Connect Setting -> "select" Mass Storage

Now you will see three volumes on the camera; one of them is the storage place for pictures.
