WebStorm LESS plugin or File Watcher - I am confused

Hi there,

On one hand I found this plugin http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin?pr=&pluginId=7059 on the other there is a LESS File Watcher seems to be already installed in the WebStorm and prompts me to activate it.

The LESS CSS Compiler is a 3rd party plugin. AFAIK it already has LESS compiler bundled (don't know what version though .. but I believe it to be 1.3 or so).

The File Watcher is an official JetBrains plugin that assists in compiling/transpiling/processing-with-external-tool of any file. It has predefined settings for most common file types (LESS/SASS/JS etc) and common tasks on those files (e.g. minification for JS/CSS files etc). But you still need to install the actual compiler/transpiler tool yourself.

Excelt the compiler input field is empty and I don't know where to get one.

• Quit IDE
  
• Install with npm (node.js package manager) globally (easier)
  

npm install -g less

• Launch IDE
• When creating new file watcher entry (manually or offered by IDE) it should detect path to lessc file automatically. If not -- point to correct location manually (on Windows it should point to lessc.cmd)
