I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 14 Community Edition, and I have "autoscroll from source" active in the Project View.
In my project, I have the directories:
/src (contains all .java source files)
/classes (contains all compiled .class files)
What I expect autoscroll to do is to scroll in the Project View to the source file (.java file in the /src directory) that is currently active in the editor.
My problem ist that sometimes the view does not scroll to the .java file but to the .class file in the /classes directory. This seems to happen randomly and it's very annoying.
Is there a way to fix this issue or is it an IntelliJ bug?

I'd like to know if there is a way to add existing directories to the IntelliJ project view, e.g. (in my case) a config folder located outside the project.
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.
ignoring build folder does not show it in project window.
commenting .gradle in .gitignore does show it in project windows.
I want to show both .gradle and build folders in project windows but I also want to include them in .gitignore file.
Right click on a directory in the project view and make sure Hide ignored files option is not enabled.
This feature is provided by a third-party .ignore plug-in. IntelliJ IDEA doesn't hide ignored files out of the box.
Note: If you don't see the .gitignore-d files, then try clicking this option regardless of its label in this menu. Sometimes because of a bug the entry says "hide" but clicking it actually shows the hidden files.
Some updates to .ignore plugin suggested in this answer.
IntelliJ now suggests installing foldable-projectview
This plugin really provides flexible configuration options.
I have been using IntelliJ sparingly for the last six months and one thing always puzzles/annoys me.
Each module of IntelliJ has a .iml folder in it's root. This .iml file is clearly recognized by IntelliJ it the file extension is associated with it during install.
Clicking on this .iml file I would expect the module to open up in IntellJ in the most recent project space. However, IntelleJ does not seem to want to do this, it has a popup saying the following.
Cannot open file:
No project to open file in.
So why can't intelliJ just open the module in the most recently used project space. Instead I have to go to great lengths to open a project space and then import the project which is so unproductive. Often I have to look open and inspect several projects an hour and as is, the process is onerous.
Am I missing something, or is there really no way to open projects directly from the desktop/file explorer?
Click the file which has .ipr extension to open it in intellij, and you can see it in the most recent project space after it is opened.
The *.iml file describes modules. It includes module paths, dependencies, order settings, etc. A project may contain multiple *.iml files.
The *.ipr file stores settings related to a project in general, for example, paths to modules and module libraries, compiler and configurations, entry points, etc.
You can find more detail in IntelliJ IDEA Web Help
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.
