Does indexing is the same as synchronizing?
Answered
My IntelliJ keeps "synchronizing file ..." message in the background. I think I already excluded big folders that I don't want to index. How to disable 'synchronizing file...'? It really slows down. Is it the same as 'indexing'? I thought they are different.

It's not the same. How many files do you have in the project directory? Are they on the local drive?
Does https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/ has the same problem?
I haven't tried the new version. I will try if it helps. On local drive.
Hi, Serge:
Unfortunately, I removed 2017.1 and then tried 2017.2 and 3, but always failed to start up:
abigail@abilina:~/tools/idea-IC-172.4343.14/bin$ ./idea.sh
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Dumping heap to /home/abigail/java_error_in_IDEA.hprof ...
Unable to create /home/abigail/java_error_in_IDEA.hprof: File exists
I starts up and starts indexing, but shortly I always got this OutofMemory issue. I have 64G memory. Kbuntu. I have been using Idea for a while.
I also tried "-Xmx1024m" in idea.vmoptions, but it doesn't help.
Please try with -Xmx4G
Are there any symlinks in the project paths?
Unfortunately. The same problem. doesn't help. No symbolic link
Delete /home/abigail/java_error_in_IDEA.hprof file, when the new one is created, upload it at https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206869619 with some unique name and post the name of the file here so that we can investigate what happens. Also upload the logs directory zipped (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085).
