How can I copy files to my project easily?
In Eclipse or NetBeans,I copy any file in some folder with Ctrl+C,then I can paste it to my project in IDE just press Ctrl+V.
In RubyMine,I can't do this,so if I want to copy some files to my project,I must open the folder of my project in Explorer,then paste it,and it will appears in the IDE,how can I paste files to my project in IDE just press Ctrl+V?

Hello,
Unfortunally RubyMine doesn't support neither drag and drop nor copy files from folders outside of RubyMine.
Inside RubyMine you can do this: select file in project view, press Ctrl+C, select destination folder in project view and press Ctrl+V.
Also we have clone file action: select file in project view and press Shift+F5.

Thanks,how about copying files from two RubyMine frames?I just want to copy some files from one project to another,if RubyMine just can copy files in the same IDE frame,can I open two project in the same frame?
RubyMine allows you to have not more than 1 project per frame opened. And copying is allowed only inside one project.
Sorry for such inconviniences, maybe will be fixed in future.

Oleg
I know this is an old post, so just for the records:
In recent RubyMine versions both drag and drop and copy/paste from native file explorer works fine.
(Tested on Windows and RubyMine 2.5 EAP)
Stephen,
Thanks for clarifying it. Drag and Drop also works on MacOS
Hey, I couldn't find this working in IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1.5 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-231.9392.1, built on July 25, 2023…
I've two projects opened in the same window. When I'm trying to copy from one project to another folder nothing happens. Any settings need to updated? Thank you.
Hello,
There might be several reasons. Could you please share idea.log ("Help | Show Log in…") after restarting IDE and reproducing the issue to check configuration and recorded events? You may share files via https://uploads.jetbrains.com/ form.
Hi, Thanks for the response. Due to some restriction I might not be able to upload the log files here. Could you state some of the reasons that I can trouble shoot? I feel this is very simple but important functionality which doesn't work as expected and easily reproducible. Just open 2 projects in the same window and copy files from one to another, nothing happens at the end. We've to copy the files only through opening two file explorers and copy the files from one to another.
Please try to temporarily disable custom plugins ("Settings | Plugins - cog wheel - Disable all downloaded plugins"). If the issue still occurs please check log after reproducing - are there any errors mentioned?
