After update IDEA 2019.3.4 always want's to import settings on startup

Answered

After update IDEA from Version 2019.3.3 to 20193.4 via Toolbox App 1.16.6319, OS kernel darwin 19.4.0 on x86_64 IDEA now always shows the "Import IntelliJ IDEA Settings From..." dialog on startup.

Any Ideas?

Do you have IDE config directory present? Are the permissions valid for this directory? See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544519 .

What's the full path to this directory on your system?

See if the steps from https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007568559 help.

Thanks for the quick response. See the attached screen shot for the path details.

Permissions are OK:

And actually I cannot reproduce the problem ...

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, it's not clear what has caused this issue.

Hello Serge Baranov

I can now reproduce. The Import Settings dialog only shows up on the first start of IDEA after a reboot of my mac after a kernel panic.

I will do a regular reboot soon and see if IDEA then still thinks it has to import settings ...

Also after a regular reboot of my macos, IDEA opens the import settings dialog on the first start.

Serge Baranov Hi. I can confirm: IDEA always shows the import settings dialog on the first start after a reboot of my macos. Shall I open an issue ticket?

Yes, please open a bug with all the logs attached (Help | Compress Logs and Show in ...): https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=IDEA

Serge Baranov I had a settings repository pointing to a local headless git repo set up in IDEA. I just disabled the Settings Repo Plugin I now can not  reproduce the Issue. Shortly I will update to 2020.1 and import my settings there. Let's see if this fixes the problem. If yes I will not open an issue, OK?

Sure, thanks for the update.
