How to make new scheme persistent? about matlab-schemer HOT 4 CLOSED

That's unexpected, as the scheme is supposed to persist between closing and reopening MATLAB. It does the same thing as if you manually go in the preferences dialog and set the customizable GUI colours. If you manually set one of the colours in the preferences, does that persist between closing and reopening MATLAB?

Okay, in that case its not an issue with Schemer, it's an issue with your MATLAB installation.

I think it this issue can be caused by installing MATLAB as root and running it as a user without sudo privileges. My recommendations are:

• Launch matlab from the terminal and check to see if an error message is displayed.
• Run the command prefdir in MATLAB to see where your preferences directory is, and then in terminal use ls to check the permissions for that directory and the preferences file within it. You may want to set it so all users can read and write that directory chmod a+rw -R DIRNAME.
• Check existing MATLAB support tickets on this topic to see if they fix your issue, e.g. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1777865-matlab-preferences-not-being-saved-across-sessions
• Reinstall MATLAB

I will close this issue now, as it is not a problem with Schemer.

If you debug and find a solution to your problem, please post here so others will know a solution to try if they face the same problem and happen upon this post.

• Launching matlab from the terminal did not display any errors.
• Changing file permissions on prefdir did not remedy the problem.
• However, the following fix did correct the problem:
