How to control Intellij Idea 14 - Indexing and VCS Refresh behavior
intellij-idea
Solution
I had the same bug and that's the decision:
- go to settings - version control - background
- set changelists to cache initially to minimal value (10)
- check setting refresh changes every
- set huge value for minutes (240 for example)
- save settings
- reload Idea
Problem
Windows 7 64 bit, intellij 14 16 GB RAM, 1 2GHZ CPU with 2 cores I have a huge legacy project with maybe 60 modules that I open with intellij. And I only use it to view stuff. I dont need to change anything in it. Everytime I open it, Intellij goes through Indexing and VCS refresh history Dance, which takes a while and slows down everything. Since nothing's changing really, I dont want it do index and refresh history everytime I open it. - How do I disable this or control this behavior? - Is there a way to manually perform these tasks?
