Exporting External Tools

Hey guys,

I've just setup a couple of external tools for use in the work place. I want to share these with my colleagues without having to export all of my tools. Is there a way to export/share specific tools?

Thanks,
Gareth

Hi there,

Each group is saved in separate .xml file. So if you organize your entries correctly, you will be able to easily share that/those group(s) only.

On Windows 7 for PhpStorm v6 it will be typically stored in C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde60\config\tools folder. For other IDEs/OS check this document: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-181 (P.S. WebStorm may keep it in .WebStormXX (or similarly named) folder)

THat's perfect. I was exporting a 'jar' settings file with tools selected. This makes far more sense :)

Thanks,

This is no longer working! I can't export External Tools on WebStorm 2022.3.2! 

It used to work in the past, I'm not sure when it stopped supporting it. 

Is this a bug, or intentional?

A bug. Should be fixed in next major 2023.1 version (and should be included in 2022.3.3 if there will be such)
