PhpStorm hides directories in Project window


I'm using PhpStorm 6.0.3, and it doesn't show any directories in the Project Tool Window. They were there just a minute ago but I managed to make them disappear by clicking or shortkey on accident.

They are there in the file system - I see them in Windows Explorer, but they just don't show up in PhpStorm. I have checked the Jetbrains documentation, checked the scope and tried deleting the project-settings (.idea-dir), but to no avail.

Does anybody have a suggestion on how to show them again? Or where I might have screwed up the settings? Thanks!


Solution

  • So, it's now a couple of months later and made the same mistake. Only this time I made 1 directory disappear and was accidentally pointed in the right direction by PhpStorm itself. I excluded the directory from the project, so it didn't show up anymore. Apparently exluded dirs are not saved in the project settings since re-creating the project didn't help.

    Here is how I found it back: File > Settings > Project settings > Directories There I saw my dir flagged with a red icon, meaning excluded. Just right-click it and click 'exclude' once again. Tadaaaa it's back.

    I can't believe I've overlooked it so many times...
