Intellij Project View does not show log files - intellij-idea

Somehow IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.1 does not show *.log files as you can see in the picture. I tried to delete .idea folder and uninstall .ignore plugin but didn't help.
How to see *.log files in Project View in Intellij ?

Make sure the file type mapping is correct and *.log extension is associated with the Text file type in File | Settings | Editor | File Types:

IntelliJ IDEA does not recognize JAVA source directory

Recently I imported the source code of Flink, but IDEA did not recognize the JAVA source directory, resulting in the failure of normal compilation and reading. I found that the generated .Iml file does not contain the JAVA source directory, I can manually mark the source directory. Flink's module has 188+, manual mark is too difficult, what should I do? Thank you
Pictures are as follows
You can try to do:
Close the project File | Close Project
Close the IDE.
Open the project directory in File Explorer and delete all .iml files and the .idea directory.
Re-import the project into IntelliJ from Existing sources.

IntelliJ is treating all my files as text files

I created a file with an invalid extension (.jjs) from my sticky keyboard.
I deleted this file
all the icons for all my files turn into text icons. I lose my colour-theming, no variables are highlight, everything is like a plain text file.
How do I fix this? I can't find anything in the help docs
I am currently running IntelliJ 2017.3.2
I solved this by going to preferences -> editor -> file types -> text and removing ".js". Then adding ".js" under javascript files.
You do not have the directory marked as a source directory, hence it is not treated as a directory containing sources.
Either right click on the directory and then "mark directory as->sources root" or go into the module options and from the modules->sources tab mark the directory there.
got to file > project Strucutre click on modules and tab Sources select the directory where is your sourceCode (here src) and mark as Sources

Intellij doesn't show .git directory

How I can I get Intellij to show the .git folder in the project viewer? I tried ctrl+alt+A and clicked "show hidden files and directories", but it doesn't switch to the "on" position, so I suppose that's not the way of going about this?
The .git directory is ignored by default. To see it in the project pane, do the following:
Go to the settings (Help | Find Action...Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+A and type "Settings").
Navigate to Editor | File Types in the Settings dialog.
Remove .git from the table under the Ignored files and folders tab.

How to trigger file watcher on a entire directory in Webstorm

I'm using Webstorm file watcher to compile my CoffeeScript.
My problem is that I have refactored the strutcure of my project's files.
Can I remove all files in /bin directory and tell to webstorm to apply his file watcher compile command on all .coffee files in a directory ? Because I don't want to open, modify and redo modification each file only for getting the compiled javascrit...
Yes, you can use 'Run file watchers' command to trigger a watcher for selected folder/project: just select a folder/project root, hit Ctrl+Shift+A -> type "run file " -> choose Run File Watchers.... You can assign custom shortcut for "Plugins | File Watchers | Run File Watchers" action in Settings | Keymap to make this procedure less complicated.

What is the difference between IntelliJ "ignored files" and the .gitignore

IntelliJ offers a dialog for "ignored files" which does not pull in data from the .gitignore file I have in my base directory. Should the ignored files dialog be used? Does it create a .gitignore file anywhere? I'm going through this tutorial.
This dialog will ignore files only when working with IDEA, while .gitignore should be used for excluding files globally, either when working with version control from IDEA or from the command line git.
This dialog doesn't create .gitignore.
