I've never used pycharm but if it is possible to open project by passing the full folder project to pycharm.sh then you could add a plugin that trigger when creating a new project and create a script file in the project folder that would call the pycharm.sh with the current directory (project directory). It would probably be of interest for the community. Otherwise just create a script that would call pysharm.sh <CURRENT_DIR> call it open_project.sh and copy it over when you create a new project. It's not out of the box but seems easilly feasible and achieve the feature you are looking for.2018-02-02 18:23 GMT+00:00 Leif Theden <leif.theden@xxxxxxxxx>:Hope that helps.I've never seen pycharm open a project from the Finder, or equivalent in Windows or Linux. However, if you pass a full path to the project folder to the pycharm.sh (linux, i think also mac osx) it will open the project. I'm a daily user of pycharm, so it is almost never closed....Using that information, you could maybe create a context menu helper (i'm not familar enough with os x to advise how to do that) that launches pycharm with the correct path appended to the pycharm launcher.On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 6:54 PM, Irv Kalb <Irv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I teach Python programming at different colleges. In my courses I use IDLE because of the simplicity of use for new programming students.
However, when I'm doing any significant development, I use PyCharm (I'm a big fan of using a debugger, and I cannot understand or use the debugger in IDLE.) I can't seem to find the appropriate place to ask this question in the PyCharm support pages, so I hope that there is a PyCharm user here who can answer my question.
I have built a number of different projects in PyCharm where each project consists of a number of Python files (main and class files). This is all working fine. And I can certainly re-open projects from inside PyCharm. However, what I would like to do, is to open a project from the Mac Finder. That is, I have a project in a folder, and I've got the folder open, but I don't have PyCharm running. I want to double click on something in the folder and have it bring up my project in a PyCharm window. But I cannot figure out how to do this - or even if it is possible.
I know that there is a hidden folder called the ".idea" folder, and I know how to make it show up in the Finder (command + shift + period). But that is a folder, and opening the folder shows three xml files and an "imi" file - all of which are just text files.
So, the question is: How can I open a PyCharm project from the Mac Finder?
Thanks,
