I can't find the ability of phpStorm 5 to avoid indexing a specific folder. I don't want to exclude it from the Project-View, just don't want phpStorm to index the containing folders, classes, functions etc.
How is that possible?

7still, google got me here and I was about to ask a similar question. At least with the same outcome – Jamie Hutber Oct 28 '13 at 14:48

10on-topic: `software tools commonly used by programmers`. moreso since phpstorm, webstorm, pycharm and intellij all usually have very similar interfaces, behaviors, problems and solutions. – worc Oct 02 '14 at 17:35

From their documentation, looks like the only way to achieve this is to Exclude the directory which will hide it from the project tree...
To have PhpStorm ignore the selected directory during indexing, parsing, code completion, etc., click the Excluded toolbar button or choose Excluded on the context menu of the selection.

6Well, how to just exlude for indexing, but I want to see this folder in project's tree? – Sergey Oct 17 '12 at 11:55

6You can mark the folder as Resource first, then Excluded. Now it will not be indexed but it will show in the Project tree. – Sep 10 '14 at 11:58

10in 8.* versions, excluding (from indexing, etc.) the directory is OK, and you can still see it on the folder tree. Works like a charm. – Ronan Sep 29 '14 at 14:11
