Open IntelliJ project from MacOS finder?
Answered
If I have the Finder opened to the project I'd like to open in IntelliJ, is there a way to open it, so I don't have to browse to the same directory in IntelliJ again to open?

IDE project has no single project file to associate it with the IDE application.
Consider using Toolbox App: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app to quickly browse and search for all IDE projects and manage IDEs installs/updates.
Hi Andrey.... I have several hundred project folders to manage and it is a lot of work to use the open-project command in the IDE. MacOS Finder has an extensions feature (see below) so not having a file association might not be an issue. Is there a MacOS command line that could be run from the terminal to cause IntelliJ to open a path as a project? If that's the case we could probably script the needed functionality.
