Latest PHPStorm version. Have multiple projects in one window

Currently we are on the PHPStorm version 9.0.2.

I know it was not possible to have multiple projects in the same window (which seems weird to me as it has a 'Project' panel where you can toggle your project. This toggle functionality does not make much sense if you are only allowed to have only one project).

Do you know if it is possible to have multiple projects in one window?

  • Do you know if it is possible to have multiple projects in one window?

    It is still not possible to have multiple independent projects (with separate settings) in one window/frame.

    https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-15187 -- watch this ticker (star/vote/comment) to get notified on progress.

    1. If you want to add files to the project and be able to edit them (they become part of the actual project -- will participate in global search/replace; refactorings; vcs / deployment; checked for errors etc) -- just use Additional Content Root functionality (Settings/Preferences | Project | Directories --> Add Content Root button) -- such folder will added as additional node in Project View panel.

    2. If such project/library is needed for reference purpose only (code completion) and not active editing then External Libraries will suffice (Settings/Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | PHP -> Include paths).
