PHPStorm, project files

Question

phpstorm

I recently decided to switch from NetBeans to PHPStorm, in the first I really liked that the project files (nbproject folder) can be stored separately from the sources themselves. In PHPStorm, I did not notice this either when creating the project, or in the settings, or by googling. Can anyone help?

1. Discussion of the feature you need
youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/WI-717
2. Vote for it
youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/WI-343
3. Solution from the first point to remove the directory from version control:
So if you want SVN to ignore it you should remove it from version control.
1) close phpstorm
2) make a backup of .idea folder
3) make svn delete .idea folder
4) commit deletion - svn should delete this folder locally now
5) restore original .idea folder at its place
6) make sure there is no .svn folder in .idea folder
After that according to your screenshot3.png you should have no problems with .idea folder.
