In eclipse / Zend Studio the project manager displays per default all projects of the workspace (or of one of its Working Sets, if selected):
Now I'm looking for the according configuration in PHPStorm, that shows only one project per window:
How can I see all my projects in the project view of the same window?
PhpStorm does not support multiple independent projects in one window / frame:

But ... you can list files from another project there (in Project View panel). If that is good enough, then just go to Settings | Directories and add desired folder as an Additional Content Root. P.S. This also means that the setting from current project will be applied to all content roots.

I have recently finished building a mini-app using IntelliJ IDEA in javaFx. It is my first time using this ide and language, so I am having difficulties manufacturing an exe file. I watched all sorts of youtube videos and different methods.
It does generate an exe file but when I click it, nothing happens.
Any idea?
I do know that with IntelliJ Ultimate edition you can build down with an EXE file.
There are a couple things you need to double check.
First, is that in your project structure under artifacts, you have the "Type:" set to JavaFx Application(which is on the top right of the window).
Secondly, switch to the Java FX tab and make sure Application class is set to your main class.
Thirdly, Select "all" under Native bundle: which is located towards the bottom of the window.
Lastly, Select the Output Layout tab and move all your available elements to output root then click on the module of your application and look at the settings that appear at the bottom. "Make sure that main class setting is in fact the main class to your application.
Side note: make sure you delete your artifacts build folder just to start from a clean slate. Also make sure your Environment variables are set to the system path correctly.
I open a project, but want to create a module to reference in WebStorm, (mostly so I can do work in 2 projects instead of having 2+ instance of WebStorm open).
In IntelliJ Ultimate or whatnot, it has a modules button. It Kinda looks like modules does not exist for me, or at least I have not see anything.
I have 2 folders which are siblings to each other representing the 2 separate projects I wanted to open in 1 instance of WebStorm.
Where can I find this information for WebStorm?
A lot of the googling was talking about modules but I didn't see that option, and I believe I noticed some posts mentioning this is not a thing in WebStorm.
Thoughts? Guidance?
WebStorm/PhpStorm project consists of a single module only (WEB_MODULE type).
WebStorm cannot open more than one project in single frame. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-7968 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
At the same time it's possible in PhpStorm: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/opening-multiple-projects.html#d197136e31
But it's still will not be full "two separate projects with separate settings" AFAIK. It's more of a "attaching 2nd project so you can see and edit those files in the same frame".
Question is: why exactly you need this? To access files of a second project? If so -- just add such folder(s) as Additional Content Root -- it will be listed as another node in the Project View panel and files will be treated as part of the project itself.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/configuring-content-roots.html
in Webstrom 2019.2 is it now avilable to open attached project to the current project.
Open multiple projects in one window
When you have a project opened in WebStorm and want to open another one, you can now attach this second project to the opened one, so that you can see both of them in the same IDE window. If you want to close the attached project, right-click its root in the Project view and select Remove from Project View.

I have my Tool Windows in specific parts of the screen (e.g. Version Control and Terminal occupying half of the bottom part) but every time I open a different project with IntelliJ the window positions are back to the default ones. It also opens windows I don't usually use (e.g. Ant Build).
Is there a way to save those settings globally and not per project?
The Window > Store Current Layout as Default and Window > Restore Default Layout options seem to work, with the extra step of having to Restore Default Layout once whenever I first open a new project.
Intellij Docs Reference
I have very custom project (including Matlab and other languages, including java maven projects soemewhere deep below) under Git control and would like to use IntelliJ as editor and version control UI. I have created "empty" project and fed root directory to wizard.
Now I see only top-level files in Project pane with no subdirectories shown.
Is it possible to show everything?
You will need to add a module for the files to be visible:
Select File > Project Structure > Modules
Use the + symbol and select Import Module
Navigate to the root you wish to view and then OK
Select Create module from existing sources then Next
Next you will see a screen telling you source files have been found and their associated paths, simply select Next
Lastly you will see a screen listing any frameworks which were found, select Finish
You will now have your project with subdirectories visible.
EDIT
If you wish to add files which are read only and not intended to be built alongside your source code then:
Go to Project Structure
Go to the Modules menu item and select your new module
Find the Mark as menu and deselect all items
More info here
Intellij will now ignore these files when compiling etc
You could also investigate adding different content roots
When i open "test" project then "Loop" project gone from window. But I want see my all project in one windows.
From the docs:
The first thing you'll notice when launching IntelliJ IDEA is that it has no workspace concept. This means that you can work with only one project at a time.
It may well be the case that you don't need to switch projects in IntelliJ, since you could create an IntelliJ project which contains multiple modules. However, if you are dealing with distinct projects here then it is possible to switch between currently open projects in IntelliJ using keystrokes or a menu. From the docs:
To switch between the currently opened projects, do one of the following
On the main menu, choose Window | Next Project Window/Previous Project Window.
Press ⌘ or ⇧⌘.
On the main menu, point to Window, and then select the name of the desired project.
For what I know, you can't get multiple projects into one window with JetStorm IDEs.
You can make them in multiple windows with different projects. Or, you can just make a project and add the projects in it.
IntelliJ can indeed only open one project at a time - but you can easily open (and alt-tab) between projects.
If you have 2 projects that are dependent or closely related, you can look at a form of project modularisation.
A popular framework is maven, based on the project object model (pom.xml) specification.
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html
When you have a multi-module maven project in intellij, you can view all modules in the project view (tree based configuration).
