I can't get the file synchronisation to work at all :(
If I have a tool in IDEA which, say, reformats the Java
code, it doesn't update in the IDE automatically (which
would be useful and is supported in tools like JBuilder).
But even if I manually select "Synchronise Files" it
doesn't update. In addition the "Reload From Disk" option
is disabled until you've made changes so I can't even use
that. It all makes working with external tools (editors
and formatters) rather tricky :(
-
Is it possible to get IDEA to work in a more "standard"
way with respect to editing and saving files. There is
no "Save File" option as far as I can see (only "Save
All") and I can close an editor with changes and the
changes aren't saved or lost (they are still there in
memory until I "Save All"). It would IMHO be better
if when closing an editor it asked you to save/lose
any changes (so you can't have an edited file open
without an editor pane). At the moment it is very hard
to track your edits if you close the pane :(
Otherwise a fantastic IDE - big improvement over our in-house JBuilder setup :)
