I have small space on internal hdd. Therefore I use external hdd. My phpstorm projects are located there. If external hdd has been reconnected phpstorm project needs to be reindexed. It takes too much time. Seems indexes are located on internal hdd. Is it possible to store indexes on external hdd? How to set it up?

UPDATE: here is my properties file

idea.popup.weight=heavy
idea.dynamic.classpath=false
swing.bufferPerWindow=false
CVS_PASSFILE=~/.cvspass
idea.smooth.progress=false
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500

Adjust the settings in this file: 

IDE_HOME\bin\idea.properties

Change these options:

  • idea.config.path
  • idea.system.path
  • idea.plugins.path
  • idea.log.path

  • But I have not these options there. Take a look on my updated post pls. Should I add these options to file?

  • In my case the options existed. Eventually you have more than once installations of phpstorm (different versions).
