Issue: PHPStorm 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 Won't Open From Launch Bar
Hi,
I've just upgraded to PHPStorm 8, from 7.
I am having to run the command everytime i want to launch phpstorm.
./phpstorm.sh < Works
When i lock it to the launcher and quit, and try to open it from the launcher it will not open.
Can you help me troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks.

Hi there,
Have a look at Tools menu (in PhpStorm) -- there should be a command for it.
I tried
Tools > Create Command Line Launcher
it didint create any new launcher for me.
Like is this normal, is it worth completly removing phpstorm and reinstalling it?
No -- that launcher is for launching IDE from command line only (i.e. "pstorm /path/to/folder/or/file")
I thought there is another "create launcher" command. Apparently I was wrong.
I would definitely try reinstalling it (backup your IDE settings first and remove that icon from launcher bar before re-installing it).
How do u uninstall phpstorm 8 on ubuntu?

The above shows me how to install it, but i can't seem to find how i can properly uninstall it.
thanks.
AFAIK you just delete the folder with PhpStorm files -- it's not Windows where it has dedicated installer/uninstaller -- here you just unpack into empty folder and run (Install instructions are also shown on Download page).
The folders with IDE config/caches/etc are described here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23358108-Directories-used-by-the-IDE-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs
To preserve your settings: just backup "config" subfolder (or, if you prefer, use "File | Export/Import Settings" commands in IDE). The "system" folder can be safely deleted as it will be regenerated on IDE launch/project opening.
