Following LHO's upgrade to MATLAB 2012whatever, I was disproportionately dismayed to see that the nice system shortcuts for loading working folders did not make the transition. Hugo was able to help me figure this out by:
1. First we tried just copying the shortcuts.xml from the 2010 (/ligo/home/controls/.matlab/R2010b) folder into the 2012 (/ligo/home/controls/.matlab/R2012b) folder. This didn't work.
2. Matlab seemed to make a shortcuts2.xml at this point. We opened the old shortcuts.xml in a text editor and copied the contents into the new shortcuts2.xml. After another MATLAB restart, this fixed it. Shortcuts restored.
I'm attaching the old shortcuts.xml file as a txt.
