IntelliJ IDEA jumps in project structure to folder where the file is located when I open it.
How to stop this? I don't want to see how project structures always jumping.
Use Find Action. ⌘+shift+A On MacOS. ctrl+shift+A on Windows/Linux.
Search for "Always Select Opened File"
Make sure it is off

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA EduTools and chose a project from JetBrains Academy. The plugin decided to create the project directory at some arbitrary location. I tried moving it by choosing Refactor -> Move at project root but a message box pops up saying "This move operation can break the course". I tried deleting the project directory and re-open the project from JB Academy, but EduTools seems to remember the decision and created the project directory at the very same location.
So my question is, how do I move the project directory to somewhere else?
Thank you for reporting this.
You can move the project directory anywhere using your File Explorer and import it back to your IDE using Open or Import on the Welcome Screen.
You'll see the project with the previous location marked as unavailable on the left of the Welcome Screen. Please click ⨉ to remove this project.
I have started using Intellij and I am trying to find a feature that was in eclipse. I often navigate to a file either through the code or through a CTRL-N search. When I have the file I found open, I want to see which project and which folder of the project the file is in. I found a way to open the file in Windows Explorer which tells me what I want but I would rather stay in intellij and see the folders on the left expanded to the location of the file. Does this exist in intellij?
Thanks
On the heading of Project Explorer panel their will be a circle with 4 lines inside it.
Press that it will take you to the place where you file is inside the project
Image upload not working thats why explaination
I have a webstorm project which i have in a certain directory. I want to move this project to another directory.
If I move the .idea folder, then nothing works at all. It seems like all the links in the project are absolute, not relative.
The links in a WebStorm project are relative (using $PROJECT_DIR$), not absolute.
To move a WebStorm project:
Close all open projects in WebStorm.
Close WebStorm.
Use a file manager to move (i.e. cut and paste) the project folder to its new location. For example, use Windows Explorer to move C:/dirA/MyProject to C:/dirB/MyProject
Start WebStorm. The "Welcome to WebStorm" screen should be displayed.
If the old project you just moved is in the "Recent Projects" list then select it, then press Delete to remove it from the list.
Select "Open Directory" from the Quick Start list, then select the project folder you just created. Your relocated project will open in WebStorm. That's it.
This approach works under Windows 7 using the latest version of WebStorm (8.0.4).
It looks tempting to select the project within WebStorm, then select Refactor > Move..., but don't go there. That is not relocating the entire project. From the documentation: "The Move refactorings allow you to move files and directories within a project".
You should simply move the entire project folder, that contains the .idea. This works fine for me in every situation I try. The links are relative to the folder containing the .idea, not the .idea folder itself. It's not like git where you can move just the .git folder, and nothing else.
For IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.4, I encountered an issue because my imported modules' .iml files weren't found after I moved the folder in Windows Explorer.
This is because the paths to the imported modules are relative to the project directory. To fix this, you have to go to:
<Project Directory>/.idea/modules.xml
and modify all of the fileurl and filepath attributes to match the new relative location.
I where working with a project and I closed because my computer was geting slow. When I tried to open my solution again xcode quitted. So everytime I try to open my project I get this error:
I am not able to open my solution. IS THERE A WAY I CAN RECOVER MY PROJECT!?
Nothing mentioned above/below worked for me. Here's what I did instead:
Right click on the .xcodeproj file and select Show Package Contents. Then delete the project.xcworkspace file. Open the project in Xcode and voilà.
There are a couple of things you can try, first make sure Xcode is not running ,trash the ~/Library/Cache/ folder contents, and trash the contents of the ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ folder, if you what to can just find the stuff for your project in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ and trash just that. Then restart your computer.
If that doesn't work, rename your faulty projects folder to so method like ' old', create a new project of the same name, and then move all of the source files from ' old' to you new project and add them. Its a bit painful I known but I have had to do this once to get a project working again.
Double click the actual file! NOT the recent item!
Turns out that double-clicking on the actual file instead of selecting it from the Welcome to Xcode window will help open the project as expected!
Also, after the first time open it with double-clicking the file, the window will be fixed by itself 🤷🏻♂️
In my case, the project was moved to my iCloud Drive without me noticing it.
If it happens to you too, just go to your Finder, locate the project and check if there is a cloud next to it. Just right click it and "Download now". Try again once the download is finished.
I was having this issue with Xcode 12. Opening Xcode, and selecting my project from 'Recent projects' list was causing Xcode to crash
My solution: I navigated to the folder and opened ProjectName.xcworkspace file, then it worked
If you're working with git, right click the project-name.xcodeproj > Show Package Contents, open the file project.pbxproj and check for conflict and resolve it.
Quit Xcode, then make a copy of the xcworkspace file (just in case). In finder, right-click the xcworkspace file and choose Show File Contents.
In that directory, open the xcuserdata directory and delete any contents. Start Xcode again and open the project.
In my case there was something wrong with the saved project state, so doing this resets the state and it opened normally.
I had the same error and none of the above helped me.
Solution that helped me: Create a new project, then without closing it, go to
File -> Open
and select your .xcworkspace file.
There's a small feature I have been yearning about in intellij idea and I will give it a try in this forum, maybe it is already possible.
In brief: I want a button that opens the working folder of the project I am working on.
Since this is the folder I put my settings files I am doing the following operation dozens of times a day -
open the run/debug configuration.
go to my activbe project tab.
copy the working directory.
open run (win+r).
paste the folder path and press enter.
X dozens of times.
Is there a way to add a button somewhere that opens my working folder?
BTW: I know that in the project settings - External tools - I can add actions. but there is no workingFolder in the macros. is there a way to add the working folder? (eventhough a button would be better)
Thanks a lot.
If you need to manage files, why not do it right from IntelliJ? If you have to go to explorer, right click any file or folder in the project panel, and there's a "Show in Explorer" option in Windows (no default key mapping). There's also "Show Path" (ctrl+alt+F12), which lets you open Explorer to any parent directory of the selected file all the way up to the drive. Finally, "Copy Path" (ctrl+shift+C) will copy the absolute path to the clipboard. (This is in IDEA 10.5, but I know Copy Path has been there a long time.)
