preferences Function Now Supports -nodesktop Option
Run preferences -nodesktop after starting MATLAB on Windows platforms with
the -nodesktop option to change Command Window font and colors via a special
Preferences dialog box.
To set other available preferences for the Command Window after starting MATLAB
with the -nodesktop option, run preferences and use the resulting Preferences
dialog box for all tools and products. Note that changes you make to font and color
preferences in this dialog box do not apply to the Command Window.
info.xml File Automatic Validation; Shows Warnings for Invalid Constructs
If you add your own toolbox to the Start button, you can use the schema file for its
info.xml file, matlabroot/sys/namespace/info/v1/info.xsd. MATLAB now
automatically validates your info.xml file against this schema when you click the Start
button after updating and refreshing your info.xml file.
Compatibility Considerations
If your info.xml contains invalid constructs, you will see warnings in the Command
Window until you correct the problems.
Other Desktop Changes
Paste Special Menu Item Renamed
In the Edit menu, the name of the Paste Special item has been replaced by Paste to
Workspace, but the functionality remains the same. It opens the Import Wizard so you
can paste the clipboard contents to the workspace in MATLAB.
Rename Shortcut Categories
You can now rename shortcut categories.
