SOLVED Re: [pygame] Opening Python project in PyCharm - Mac
I have come up with a simple way to do what I want to do - to open a PyCharm project from the Finder.
I have a reference to PyCharm in my dock. When I want to open a PyCharm project, I drag the project folder and drop it onto the PyCharm icon in the doc.
As long as the folder contains a previously created PyCharm project, that project opens in PyCharm! No scripting needed.

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.

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.
