Can find import settings functionality

Hello folks, 

I want to import live templates to get some es6 helpers 

https://github.com/blakedietz/js-live-template

Unfortunately, I cannot find the "Import Settings" functionality nor the template folder in the Prefrences Library as described in the help site.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/sharing-live-templates.html

 

Anybody has an Idea how implement a settings.jar?

 

I am using Webstorm 2019.1

You must be using IDE Settings Sync plugin (as far as I can see from screenshot). Export settings and Import settings actions are intentionally disabled when this plugin is used to avoid confusion, as they export/import local settings rather than shared ones (stored in jba_config folder). See comments in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-198980

You can try the following:

  • extract your settings.jar to some folder (<target_folder>)
  • shut down WebStorm
  • copy *.xml files from <target_folder>/templates to ~/Library/Preferences/WebStorm2019.1/jba_config/templates directory

We have a request for enabling settings export/import while using IDE settings sync, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-199685. Please follow it for updates
