external tools loses my configuration
I have an external executable that I want to run from IDEA.
When I configure it via Settings->External Tools->Add... it appears in the Tools menu and works just fine.
But when I restart IDEA it has disappeared, and I have to go and add it again.
Is this a bug, or am I failing to save my prefs properly?

Hello.
You are right, in 8.0.1 a tool added directly to main menu / Tools (not to any sub-menu) is erased on restart. This is probably a bug. In 8.1 builds such tool is saved without problems.
As a workaround you can add custom tool to a sub-menu. For this purpose fill the Group field in tool's properties dialog.
Thank you,
Alexander.
Yes, that works correctly.
Thanks!
