Two folders can now be compared from the project view (Compare Directories with two folders selected, or Compare With… on one folder, also in Find Action). The result tree marks entries as only on left, only on right, contents differ or identical, with a name filter and a show-identical toggle; double-click opens the existing diff editor, and files or whole subdirectories can be copied to either side (overwrite and delete ask first, extra files in the target are kept). Comparison runs in the background with progress and cancel, honours the project's exclusions, and works for remote projects through the same file commands.
The comparison tree and diff preview are shared with the Git folder/revision comparison.
Verified on macOS (subdirectories, Chinese names, binary files, copy both ways, delete, cancel on large files); Windows and Linux not run.
Fixes#520
Projects now open with a user-owned trust decision. The prompt offers Preview in Restricted Mode, Don't Open and Trust Project, with an optional trusted parent folder; preview is the default focus so Enter never grants trust.
Restricted projects keep browsing, editing, saving, search and highlighting. Project-controlled execution is denied by default in the backend: run, debug, build, tools, language servers, plugins and Git commands that could honour repository configuration. Trusting a project enables those paths without reopening it, and decisions can be revoked in Settings.
Terminals stay available when the user opens one, without project shell settings, environment or virtualenv activation. A shell prompt that runs git in the folder can still honour the repository's core.fsmonitor.
Fixes#462
Open files only reloaded from file watcher events, so a change the watcher skipped stayed stale in its tab: excluded and git-ignored folders, files outside the project, and missed events.
- Re-check open documents against disk when the window gains focus, off the UI thread and debounced. Clean documents reload, dirty ones keep the existing warning, and unchanged ones cost one metadata call.
- Refresh the project tree and Git status on the same focus event.
- Add "Synchronize external changes when switching to the IDE window" under System Settings, on by default.
Fixes#563
The server choosers listed every configured server without checking mapping coverage or exclusions, so choosing the wrong one silently skipped the files.
- Add a shared eligibility check, available through desktop IPC and host RPC, that never contacts a server.
- Filter Upload to, Download from, Compare and Delete choosers by it. A selection lists a server if it covers at least one path, and the rest are reported as skipped.
- Explain why the default server cannot take a selection, by file name, instead of doing nothing. Apply the same exclusion rules when a transfer runs.
Fixes#538
Properties documents passed through charset decoding alone, leaving Unicode escapes in the shared document text.
- Add a default-off "Transparent native-to-ascii conversion" setting under the properties encoding and a stable action. Changing it reloads clean properties buffers in place; dirty buffers keep their codec.
- Decode eligible escapes and surrogate pairs when constructing documents, and save non-ASCII as uppercase escapes in pure ASCII. Backslash pairs, malformed escapes, unpaired surrogates and line terminator escapes stay literal, so an edit cannot split a property across lines.
- Use the same codec for search, closed-file readers, Git diffs, staging and partial commits. Clean saves and undone edits preserve the original bytes.
Fixes#519
Deployment only supported SFTP, so a web root on the same machine or on a mounted share still needed an SSH server.
Servers now have a type: SFTP or Local or mounted folder. A local server has a folder and optional web URL and shares upload on save, upload and download, delete, compare and sync, excludes, mappings and the Remote Host view with SFTP through one backend filesystem. Copies never read the whole file into memory, a file is never copied onto itself, and Test Connection checks the folder exists and is writable. Existing servers stay SFTP.
Fixes#467
Project rows only showed generic folder and filename icons, so JVM modules, packages and declarations looked alike.
Rows now show Maven and Gradle project and module icons, packages, Spring configuration and Boot application classes, runnable classes, test classes, Java and Kotlin declaration types, and generated, compiled and javadoc output folders. Editor tabs, Goto File and Recent Files use the same resolver. Types come from a bounded syntax parse of visible files, served locally and over remote RPC.
Spring stereotypes keep their ordinary type icons, and .class files stay binary.
Fixes#347
The remote server read the login shell's PATH once and cached it, had no project-level environment, and changed environment variables only took effect after reinstalling or a manual restart.
- Every openidea-server start re-reads the remote login shell's full environment (`$SHELL -ilc env -0`), with the cached PATH only as a fallback when the shell doesn't answer.
- A project's `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` (or `.devcontainer.json`) applies on remote hosts: `remoteEnv` (with `${localEnv|containerEnv|env:X[:default]}`, workspace variables and `null` to unset) reaches every child process through one environment overlay (terminals, run configurations, language servers, debuggers, build tools, git), and `postStartCommand` (string, array or parallel object) runs once per server start in the project root as a cancellable background task; a failure raises a notification with the exit code and the last output lines without blocking the project.
- Reload Environment (`remote.reloadEnvironment`, File menu and Find Action) re-resolves the login shell and `remoteEnv` without restarting the server, starting from the process's original environment so prepended PATH entries don't pile up; it lists the changed variables, notes that running processes keep their environment, and offers to restart language servers.
- The JSONC reader moves to `ide_core::jsonc` and is shared with ide-run.
