Passing files selected in project views to external tools - ide

Is it possible to pass paths to all files currently selected in the project view to an external tool?
I know you can use the $FilePath$ macro but it only seems to pass the path to the first selected file ignoring the rest and no other macro seems suitable. A workaround would also be using all the files from the parent directory, but that's not feasible in my case.

It's not possible right now, please vote for this feature request.

PhpStorm Search Everywhere is not working, do you know the solution?

I don't know this is off topic or not, I'm using general channels. Is there a solution for Search Anywhere in PhpStorm. I work with Laravel but when I use the feature I can't find the file even though it exists.
Looking at your screenshot: based on the fact that ALL files in the project tree have that sort of "dirty yellow" background color... it looks like ALL of your files are considered excluded / outside of the project for some reason.
Most likely a user error of some kind. E.g. you may have opened it from a different path (i.e. when symlink is involved), may have c=misconfigured it later somehow (marked folder as Excluded by mistake or whatnot) or maybe even some sort of config file corruption (pretty unlikely).
Anyway, please do this:
Close your project
Go to the project root folder and delete your .idea subfolder (that's where your project settings are stored).
If you have that project still visible in the IDE (Recent Projects on the Welcome screen) -- you may remove it there as well (to avoid any possible confusion).
Now create a new project in PhpStorm from scratch using existing files: just use "Open" and point to the folder with your project.
Please check filter option. If you are doing file search then click on Files tab.

Has anyone tried/had trouble with being able to build the Redbeard "Pages" tutorial project?

If I download the source and build it works fine, but if I do it myself Xcode won't find the default.inc.json file. If I alter the path to /default-theme/default.inc.json then that particular file is found, but other theme files aren't
Clearly, for some reason my set up is causing grief. However, analysing the directory structure of my app and the source comes up with no differences.
Has anyone run into the same?
Are you trying to set the 'root' theme file? If so it should be named 'theme.inc.json'. From there you should add in your own theme files and include files.
See this for further information about themes and the general structure. http://redbeard.io/documentation/theme-reference
I was having the exact same problem.
The problem was when one drags the 'default-theme' folder into the project.
A window will appear asking how you want to add the files: make sure "Copy items if needed" is checked, and "Create groups" is selected. Important: do not choose "Create folder references" otherwise your project will not work.
The example now works as documented.

Embedding an image as a resource in a FireBreath plugin

While using VS (2010), I used to be able to add an image as a resource simply by going to the Resource view and then: Right click project > Add > Resource > Import.
I even asked a question about how to then load it: Loading an image from a resource embedded in a dll, but that changed for some reason.
Now when I try the same thing and save the .rc file, I get this message:
"The resource script FILE_PATH.rc was not created using Microsoft
Visual Studio. Comments, macros, preprocessor directives, and
conditionally included information may be modified and/or removed from
this file during the build process. Replace existing file?"
Even if I click "yes" (in order to just test things) then I get all kind of error messages at compile time:
ResourceCompile:
gen\firebreathWin.rc(8): error RC2144: PRIMARY
LANGUAGE ID not a number
gen\firebreathWin.rc(16): error RC2135: file not found VS_VERSION_INFO
etc...
I have two questions:
What is the correct way to add an image resource which will be added to the compiled plugin using CMake? I searched about it and couldn't find any helping information.
What can be the cause for this change in behavior? since I was able to use the same exact steps before and it worked.
Thanks.
First of all, I wouldn't do this; instead, I'd just put the file in the same directory as your DLL and use the path of DLL to find it.
That said, the "correct" way to do this would be to see what changes are made to the .rc file when you add it in the IDE, copy the .rc file from gen_templates/ in the root of the firebreath directory into your project, and then make those changes to your copy of the file. Any changes you make to the generated file will be overridden any time cmake is run again, which can happen any time your cmake files (CMakeLists.txt, *.cmake) change.

Is it possible to filter out files from the file dialog in IntelliJ?

My specific use case is with an Android project, but this isn't Android specific. I have an IntelliJ-IDEA project with several Android modules which have been localized. If I want to open the file strings.xml, I will pretty much always want the non-localized one (in res/values rather than res/values-fr or whatever). But when I hit <ctrl><shift><n> and type strings.xml, it shows all the 30-zillion localized files and in fact shows them before the non-localized one. I would like to figure out a way to give IntelliJ a hint as to which one I would want, or a way to filter out files from that dialog. Any ideas?
Seems there is a kind of workaround with directory exclusion

Transferring Intellij Live Templates Between Machines

I'm trying to figure out how to transfer the templates in the /.IdeaC10/config/templates/user.xml file to my coworker's machines.
If I copy into the user.xml file, then those changes seem to be getting squashed by Intellij, reverting to the old file contents.
Anyone know how to work around this?
EDIT:
Is there any way to do this by copying and pasting the xml? That would be preferrable...!
Use File | Imprort/Export Settings.
An improved and easier way
This allows you to share them easily between collegues.
You can select multiple live templates and then copy them (right click and select copy, or ctrl+c). This gives you XML-descriptions in your clipboard you can send to others.
Other can then take that XML, and paste it into a "Template Group". Right click one of the groups and select Paste. If the option is greyed out, you didn't select a group but something else.
If you have Settings Repository set you may find your Live Templates stored in
<your_user_home_directory>\
.IntelliJIdea<version>\
config\
settingsRepository\
repository\
templates
the technique of copying and pasting the xml file on another computer in the correct directory, function perfectly for me! But the name of my template file is android.xml for my Android developments. Maybe the file name "user" is protected. Try maybe with a different file name
You need to create the required custom template groups and update the relevant predefined groups as necessary and click OK. Based on these changes, IntelliJ IDEA generates the <group_name>.xml files, see Location of Custom Live Templates Definitions above.
Depending on the operating system you are using, the .xml files are stored at the following locations:
Windows: <your_user_home_directory>.IntelliJ IDEA<version_number>\config\templates
Linux: ~IntelliJ IDEA<version>\config\templates
OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJ IDEA<version>/templates
Refer to Intellij Help article.
