Highlighting changed folders in PhpStorm

Question

I really love highlighting of changes in editor and in project manager, but I would love it even more if there would be options to highlight folders. I can see single files changed, but in project that has very complicated structure is often difficult to find a file changed in a folder.

Is there anything that I can change in settings?

Answer 1

You need to select the "Show directories with changed descendants" option in:

File->Settings...->Version Control->Show directories with changed descendants

Answer 2

In PhpStorm 2021.3 this option has name "Highlight directories that contain modified files in the Project tree" and you can find it in:

File -> Settings -> Version Control -> Confirmation -> Changes
