I am using PyCharm 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. For new project it suggests ~/PyCharmProjects for storing project folders. Is it possible to change the location and name of this proposed folder?
(I couldn't find any reference to changing it in the interface, on the JetBrains site, or in the settings files. Either it isn't possible or (I hope) I missed something.)
Note, it is not a duplicate of Can I change the location/name of PyCharmProjects? - I am aware that it is possible to change proposed path for every created project - but I want defaults that I like.
I know this is an old question, but is is certainly possible as of now
Settings | Appearance & Behaviour | System Settings | Default directory
See JetBrains support page

In fact, this is possible. In the IDE settings folder (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/project-and-ide-settings.html), under config/options/recentProjectDirectories.xml, you can add an option lastProjectLocation. It wil honor this setting when creating new projects. My recentProjectDirectories.xml looks like this:
<application>
<component name="RecentDirectoryProjectsManager">
<option name="lastProjectLocation" value="$USER_HOME$/my_projects" />
</component>
</application>
In fact, for most options that you want to customize, you could do a diff of the config/options folder before and after you make the change: this way you can find out a lot about how PyCharm (or any IntelliJ tool) configures its editor.
I haven't found an explicit option for doing this in PyCharm, but the following steps have worked as an alternative:
Move your PycharmProjects folder to the desired location.
When you create a new project, press the "..." button to the right of the path (This is on the pop up window that asks for location and interpreter).
Navigate to the new location of PycharmProjects and select that directory.
Add the name of the new project to the directory location (ie. /home/alex/Documents/PycharmProjects/new_project_name)
Now, whenever you create a new project, the location will default to the last chosen path.
This wouldn't be a good solution for someone who is creating projects in many different directories, rather than just PycharmProjects. All my projects are within PycharmProjects and this works just fine.
PyCharm (since at least version 2017) remembers the parent directory of the last place where you created a project. So create a junk project in the directory that you want to be your default projects directory, then close that project, and delete it from disk. The next time you create a project, pycharm will automatically put you in that directory.
It's not a provided option. See this old thread (2003) on devnet.jetbrains.com where this is being discussed.
Subsequent requests to specify a default directory for projects has gone unanswered:

Just an update to #Psionman's answer. At least in the professional version (2019.3.5), t appears to have shifted just a bit. The field is now available at
File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings > Project Opening > Default Directory
The latest version 2021.3 has the following option:
File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings > Project (Dialogue) > Default project directory
Just like virtualenvwrapper, PyCharm apparently obeys $PROJECT_HOME
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
pycharm
or
PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel pycharm
I would have to agree, because I could not find an option in the program. However, based on the answers, found a folder labeled (in my case)
\Users\.PyCharmCE2018.1\config\options
In this folder there are XMLs, one named option with a tag "file.chooser.recent.files". I worked with this, which I found to work for me.
Maybe this also serves:
File -> Settings -> Project (name) -> Project Structure -> Add Content Root
Add folders and then create files and/or navigate between them easily.

We have to work in the same project using git and we are using Scrum method in our work, so , we need some guide and best practice and answers before starting...we will be so happy with your informations.
can we use différent IDE (intellij and Netbeans)... if yes, the .gitinore file will contains every IDE 's specefic .gitignore file?
You can use this to get started: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/tip-using-git-for-codename-one-projects.html
e.g. sample gitignore from https://github.com/codenameone/MaterialScreensUIKit
*.jar
nbproject/private/
build/
nbbuild/
dist/
lib/CodenameOne_SRC.zip
psds/.DS_Store
.DS_Store
In your theme editor make sure the File -> XML Team Mode is checked for everyone so you can work on XML and individual files rather than the whole thing.
Alternatively you can avoid the designer tool altogether and use CSS.
I have found numerous articles on StackOverflow and elsewhere stating that if you wanted to output your files to the bin folder using ClickOnce, you should set the
BuildAction: Content
CopyToOuputDirectory : Copy if newer
but some of my binaries are located in a Dependencies subfolder located in the root of my project and when I publish the content, they are being outputted to
<wpf app folder>\dependencies instead of being in the <wpf app folder> causing my app to not function properly.
Any suggestions on how I can change this to force ClickOnce to output specific files to <wpf app folder>\ irrespective of where the Source files are located.
I eventually found a work-around which I don't like but I need to move on. To circumvent this problem I added the required libraries to the root of my project as links and still set the BuildAction to Content and CopyToOutputDirectory to Copy if newer.
I thought I'd explain it with an example as it may make a bit more sense.
Project Path: C:\Work\MyApp and it contains the following sub-folders:
D:\Work\MyApp\MyApp.csproj
D:\Work\MyApp\MyApp.xaml
...
D:\Work\MyApp\Bin\Debug
D:\Work\MyApp\Bin\Release
D:\Work\MyApp\Bin\Release\MyApp.exe
D:\Work\MyApp\Depedencies\LibA.dll
D:\Work\MyApp\Depedencies\LibB.dll
etc...
The libraries are third-party tools and are actually contained in their own folder:
D:\Tools\MyThirdPartyLib\Distributation\LibA.dll
D:\Tools\MyThirdPartyLib\Distributation\LibB.dll
By having the libraries in D:\Work\MyApp\Dependencies did not work as ClickOnce would install the app in:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0...\MyApp.exe
and it installed the files located in the Dependencies sub-folder in:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0...\Dependencies\LibA.dll
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0...\Dependencies\LibB.dll
Which caused my app not to work.
To get around it, I ended up adding LibA.dll and LibB.dll to the root of my project as "Linked files" and set their BuildAction and CopyToOutputDirectory but not by pointing the linked files to
D:\Work\MyApp\Depedencies\LibA.dll
D:\Work\MyApp\Depedencies\LibB.dll
but instead pointing them:
D:\Tools\MyThirdPartyLib\Distributation\LibA.dll
D:\Tools\MyThirdPartyLib\Distributation\LibB.dll
And this seems to have done the trick. My only beef about it is that now I've got 10 odd files listed in the root of my project in visual studio which I don't like:
MyApp Solution
- MyApp Project
- MyApp.csproj
- MyApp.xaml
- ...
- LibA.dll
- LibB.dll
- ...
But it will have to do for now.
Hope it helps others!
I'm trying to get Sublime Text 3 to work well with Cake's ctp (view) files. The syntax highlighting works fine out-of-the-box, but I can't get the HTML autocomplete to work.
If I open an .html file, I can get the tags and attributes to autocomplete (except in the attribute "style", it doesn't autocomplete CSS styles).
However, if I work on a .ctp file, autocomplete doesn't work at all. I've already tried changing the View->Syntax settings to both PHP and HTML and nothing... I've even tried using the "Open all with current extension as..." with no result.
I've tried using different plugins (ApplySyntax, cakephp plugins, etc) with any success.
Another thing I've noticed, also for javascript code, is that for "short" tags and functions, if I place the cursor at the opening tag or {, the closing tag or } gets automatically highlighted. However, if there's a bunch of lines of code in-between (same language) then the highlight won't happen...
Any help with these things would be really appreciated! I really want to like and use Sublime!
NO NEED FOR A PLUGIN NOW!
In the latest version of SublimeText 3 (at least), you can open a CTP file, then:
View -> Syntax -> Open all current extension as -> PHP
Then just close your open files, and when you re-open them, they'll be highlighted like the language you chose for that extension.
Just install the ApplySyntax plugin for sublime-text.
ApplySyntax can be installed in a variety of ways:
Through Package Control http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
Open Package Control
Select 'Install Package'
Find and select 'ApplySyntax'
By cloning this repository in Packages
cd into your Packages folder
git clone git://github.com/facelessuser/ApplySyntax.git .
By downloading the files and placing them in a directory under Packages, such as ApplySyntax or User
If you don't put the files in Packages/User (you can, but probably shouldn't), make sure they live in Packages/ApplySyntax. If you download and extract a compressed archive from GitHub, the directory will be facelessuser-ApplySyntax. Remove facelessuser-.
Courtesy for installation steps: https://github.com/facelessuser/ApplySyntax/blob/master/readme.md
N.B: I installed it and now the *.ctp files are displayed with proper syntax-highlighting for me.
Update:
In Sublime Text 3, you don't have to use the plugin, you can use the following solution:

Not sure how to phrase the question.
I've created a few files for my c project that I would like to use for multiple projects.
Project root: ~/workspace/myproject
Files :
~/workspace/myproject/customlib/myfile.h
~/workspace/myproject/customlib/myfile.c
I was able to move them from my eclipse (Code Composer Studio) workspace and replace them with symlinks to their new location.
Custom lib dir: ~/myfiles/customlib
This is working fine but I'd rather not use the symlinks as it becomes necessary to add those symlinks to any project where I want my customlib files. Also when copy/pasting a project in eclipse it doesn't seem to understand the symlink and creates a copy of the file rather than the symlink.
I've set up an include path to ~/myfiles/ but when I compile I get a bunch of unresolved symbol errors.
My custom files depend on files from other include paths as well. (if that might be a hint as to why things are breaking)
Is there another way I can link in these files?
I figured out how I can do what I'm looking for but can't actually post the answer for 8 hours so I'll answer it here.
I was able to add the .c files as "Linked Resources" to my project.
So in the end I had an include path to ~/myfiles and a linked resource ~/myfiles/customlib/myfile.c.
Linked Resources can be found under Project Properties -> Resource -> Linked Resources -> Linked Resources(tab)
Unfortunately, my environment, Code Composer Studio 6 on Ubuntu would not allow me to actually add a linked resource through the IDE.
As a workaround I added the linked resource directly to the .project file.
~/workspace/myproject/.project
Under the section labeled "natures" I added
<linkedResources>
<link>
<name>myfile.c</name>
<type>1</type>
<locationURI>$%7BPARENT-2-PROJECT_LOC%7D/myfiles/customlib/myfile.c</locationURI>
</link>
</linkedResources>
The "$%7BPARENT-2-PROJECT_LOC%7D" refers to ~/workspace/myproject/../../ (a.k.a. ~/). The 2 tells it how many ../'s
In case you don't get the locationURI right the first time you should be able to edit the file path from Project Properties -> Resource -> Linked Resources -> Linked Resources(tab)
You can use any defined build variables for the locationURI. Here is another way to write the location URI. PROJECT_LOC/../../myfiles/customlib/myfile.c
Since this is an eclipse project file it will be overwritten with whatever eclipse decides is the proper format for locationURI
You can place the linked resource into a folder in your project by modifying the tag. projectsubfolder/myfile.c. This will create a folder projectsubfolder under your project directory. ~/workspace/myproject/projectsubfolder
Unfortunately this isn't an optimal solution as I will need to add linkedresource entries for every source file I create in my custom lib. CCS fumbles the linked resources when doing a project copy/paste, requiring you to add the linked resources again to your copied project.
In the end it feels like a solution but it really doesn't have much benefit over symlinked files. The only one being that when I copy/paste a project I will know the project isn't using the correct files when it doesn't compile. (symlinking will make a working project with copies of the files instead of the originals)
I imagine I will need to learn about creating .lib files to make the inclusion a little more pain free.
I have a menu link with the alias "inside" on a joomla 3.1.5 site here: http://naiwellness.com
Every morning I check the site and a folder named "inside" has been created in the root dir which prevents the site from loading as it should, instead displaying a directory contents listing at http://naiwellness.com/inside
Anyone have any ideas how to prevent this please?
Thanks
This is just a theory, but check the xml files of your installed modules and plugins (most likely a plugin) for this line...
<folder>inside</folder>
and if it exists try deleting that line of code - or better still uninstall the extension - that should fix it. It's possible that a plugin requires that folder and has php code to create the folder if it doesn't exist - and so creates the folder each time it is run - i.e. when the site is loaded. The above line of xml code I have asked you to look for will go someway to helping determine if this is the case.
