When I change some settings in Options – Configure Texmaker and close the window, my changes aren't saved, and there is no "save settings" button as far as I can see. More specifically, I am trying to switch to an embedded pdf viewer, which of course doesn't happen when I am unable configure Texmaker myself. How can I make it happen?
I am using Texmaker version 5.0.2 on windows 10.
It seems that Texmaker does not allow DDE commands, but since version 1.9 SumatraPDF supports forward search not only via DDE commands, but also via command line switches. Since version 3.2.1 Texmaker has all variables that are needed to use forward search. These are
% for the basename of the master file (without path and without extension), ! for the full path to the directory where the master document resides,# for the basename of the currently active file (without path and without extension) and @ for the line number. So usually the following should work:
""C:/Program Files (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance "!/%.pdf" -forward-search "!/#.tex" @
This will fail when including from a subdirectory. A workaround is to add the subDirName to the path manually:
""C:/Program Files (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" -reuse-instance "!/%.pdf" -forward-search "!/subDirName/#.tex" @
But then the subDirName should be identical in all projects, so this is more a workaround than a real solution.
Here is a screenshot of my Texmaker configuration:

There is a save button. Maybe its not being displayed because of the display settings.
Go to display settings in the settings app, There is an option called scale and layout. Change it to something less than the current value. 150% is recommended so try setting it to 100% and open the configure window in TeXmaker. Now you should be able to see a save button at the bottom.
