In previous versions of IDEA I was able to set how many days back the Local History feature would keep the changes in the source files. For some reason, I cannot find this in IDEA 11.1.3, and local history is kept less about a day back. I think I went through all the settings, but can't find where I can increase this value. Does anyone know where I might find it?
Thanks!

Right-click anywhere in the editor and choose Local History | Show History from the context menu. In the dialog that opens, the left-hand pane shows a list of all saved revisions of the current file with timestamps.
From the main menu, select File | Invalidate Caches. In the Invalidate Caches dialog, you can select additional actions that the IDE will perform while removing the cache files: Clear file system cache and Local History: remove the virtual file system cache together with the information stored in Local History.
By default, it is disabled, and IntelliJ IDEA stores run configuration settings in . idea/workspace. xml.
Local changes can be found under "Commit" tab. Show activity on this post. move to -> bottom left.
Modify bin\idea.exe.vmoptions (idea.vmoptions on Linux, Info.plist on Mac), add the following line:
-DlocalHistory.daysToKeep=5
It was the only configurable option removed from the settings user interface.
Another way is to use Help | Find Action, type Registry in the box, ensure that Include non-menu actions option is enabled, select the Registry result from the list, press Enter:
Note that the default value is 5 working days.
