DCE gui fails to open due to parse_preference_file function

[raffaeahmad]

In line 79 of parse_preference_file.m "rest(1:(k-1))=''; "results in an error "Colon operands must be real scalars" after MATLAB 2023 due to change in behavior. k is an array with size (1,c) instead of scalar. Changing the line to "rest(1:(size(k,2)-1))='';" allows the function to run without error but full functionality has not been checked.

Using # ROCKETSHIP v1.2, 2016 and MATLAB R2025a

This bug has been fixed in the dev branch Commit d803188 with a slightly different approach. You can either cherry pick that commit to what you are using, or just start using the dev branch. The dev branch has a lot of other changes mostly related to the CLI interface and batching that we are preparing for a new release hopefully soon.
