By default IntelliJ IDEA opens the last project when starting.
How to start IntelliJ without opening last project?
IntelliJ 14, 15, 16:
Settings -> Appearance & Behaviour -> System Settings -> Reopen last project on startup
Previously:
Settings -> General -> Startup/shutdown -> Reopen last project on startup.
If for any reason you need to change this setting without using the UI (for example if IDEA is hanging when it opens your project), you can find the setting in eg
/.IntelliJIdea10/config/options/ide.general.xml
The location of the file is documented in http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-181
The specific setting you need to change (or add) is
<application>
<component name="GeneralSettings">
<option name="reopenLastProject" value="false" />
</component>
</application>
In the latest version of IntelliJ, the location of this file on a Mac is
~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2018.2/options/ide.general.xml
If you have the settings repository enabled, then it can be found here:
~/.IntelliJIdea${idea_version}/config/settingsRepository/repository/ide.general.xml
For Intellij 13 on Mac 10.9 (Mavericks), it is located at ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea13/options/ide.general.xml as well. ( I don't have enough reputation to vote up Nicholas' answer ).
On the Mac the file is located at ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea12/options/ide.general.xml
And then set the reopenLastProject
option to false
.
IntelliJ 2016.x keeps this information in its own file now. On my MacBook Pro w/OSX:
~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2016.2/options/recentProjects.xml
If IntelliJ hangs on startup, force quit the app then rename this file to something like "recentProjects.xml.bak."
Upon restart you'll get the option screen for creating or opening a project.
Note: the actual path may vary depending upon which version of IntelliJ you have installed eg.
IntelliJIdea2016.1/ IntelliJIdea2016.2/ IntelliJIdea2016.3/
I opened this file in VI using this path:
~/Library/preferences/IdeaIC13/options/ide.general.xml
and changed this value:
<option name="reopenLastProject" value="true" />
to
<option name="reopenLastProject" value="false" />
Just tick the checkbox:
Settings -> General -> Reopen last project on startup
This is for idea 10.
In IntelliJ 14 it is:
Settings -> Appearance & Behaviour -> System Settings -> Startup/Shutdown -> Reopen last project on startup
You can bring the settings window by pressing CTL+ALT+S.
On WINDOWS
, the path is:
C:\\Users\\[USERNAME]\\.IntelliJIdea[VERSION]\\config\\options\\ide.general.xml
Then set reopenLastProject
to false
, ie:
<application> <component name="GeneralSettings"> <option name="reopenLastProject" value="false" /> </component> </application>
PS: You may have to create the option if it doesn't exist.
For The latest version of Android Studio IDE
Just follow this steps
File > Settings > System Settings > click Reopen the last project Check-box > Apply or Okay
要通过 IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1 社区版中的配置文件管理此设置,请前往~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC2019.1/options/
以使用 Patrick Wilkes 的回答和 ide.general.xml 编辑。
If you're just trying to start up IntelliJ once without opening any previous projects (eg due to IntelliJ crashing with a specific project), you can use the dontReopenProjects
option from the command line.
Example:
C:\dev\ide\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2020.2\bin\idea64.exe dontReopenProjects

Note: There are also a bunch of other useful command line options as well, eg noSplash
and disableNonBundledPlugins
.
