Upgarded to PyCharm pro and my local history is gone

Hello,

I just installed Pycharm Professional and local history is gone for all projects regardless if open them in Pycharm CE or PE.

Is there any way I can retrieve local history? 

When I open projects in Pycharm CE there's not a single file to open within Pycharm. Same thing for Pycharm PE.

Thanks,

Hi, the current implementation of local history doesn't suggest persistence over reinstallations, updates etc. -- https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-61385/Provide-a-way-for-the-local-history-to-survive-VFS-crash-and-Invalidate-Caches-and-reinstallations

Therefore, it's recommended to use VCS if you want to preserve the history of your project.

That said, there are workarounds of copying the history manually, e.g. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-61385/Provide-a-way-for-the-local-history-to-survive-VFS-crash-and-Invalidate-Caches-and-reinstallations#focus=Comments-27-4313080.0-0
