External Tools folder in Toolbar not showing

Answered

Hello,

I set up my External Tools folder with a single script (.sh file). Then, I placed the External Tools folder into my toolbar so I could easily access it from the GUI.

This was working great while I was on a trial version of IntelliJ. But after entering in an enterprise license key and updating, the folder is now gone! I can still access my script using CMD+SHIFT+A, and I've verified that External Tools is still in my toolbar, but no icon is appearing. 

How can I get my External Tools folder back into my toolbar?

Try using the Quick Lists instead, it's more convenient than a toolbar: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/configuring-quick-lists.html.

Thanks Serge, but for me using a key command to open quick lists is the same thing as hitting CMD+SHIFT+A to select the script. I'd really prefer to just have a button on my UI that I can push...is there any way to get the command or the quick list into the toolbar?

Try adding the command directly instead of the folder.

I was manually able to add the script to the toolbar, and afterwards I tried re-adding the External Tools folder and it worked! So to resolve all I had to do was remove the old External Tools and add it again.

Thanks for your help!
