PhpStorm shuts down when I enter certain project folders
PhpStorm 2017.3
My project has an /images/ folder... I simply navigate to it, and a few seconds later PhpStorm shuts down.
It has .jpg, .png, .gif, .ico, .psd, .svg files, and it has font files of various types. and a Thumbs.db file (it's a Windows 10 machine)
Another folder has nothing but WordPress .po and .mo files. Again, simply going to it will shut PhpStorm down.
A few months ago I had another folder where an image file had a .php extension for some reason. Anytime I went to that folder PhpStorm would shutdown. Correcting the extension on that file solved that problem.
It appears to be some sort of problem when indexing the folder upon entering it; if it encounters a file it is not familiar with, it shuts down everything.
This seems way to easy to trip that I should be seeing a lot of complaints, but I'm not. So I wonder if I have some sort of config problem??
Please sign in to leave a comment.
further investigation shows that it shuts down when it encounters Thumbs.db or any *.ttf file. Is there someplace I can tell PhpStorm to ignore these files??
Found the ignore files in Settings. Works fine when I add Thumbs.db, but no effect when I add .ttf files.

Did you add it as *.ttf ? Wildcard is needed there.
This is still an issue though, obviously PhpStorm shouldn't crash on encountering such files. Is it possible that you submit a support ticket with logs attached (Help | Collect and Show Logs in Explorer)?

Thanks. There were other file name templates in there with no asterisk, but I added asterisks to all of them, and that seems to have stopped most of the problem.
