Matlab 2014b crashing suddently when using a specific folder

2 views (last 30 days)
I've copied a folder of some code from one computer to another. And when I try to access it I get the following matlab error:
Exception in thread "FileDecorationCache request queue" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Following that matlab freezes. Why is that happening, what should I do? As long as I dont try to load anything, or even browse in that folder, matlab works fine. I'm using a win 7 - 64 bit machine, Matlab 2014b.

I've had this issue on folders with a lot of files in it. Raise memory heap didn't solve. Do you have any clue of how to solve it?

Go into Preferences to the General section and increase Java Heap Memory there. Then restart MATLAB.
