Open folder as project with CLion

Hey so I will be learning C Language and will be using CLion from Jetbrains. I have already used their IntelliJ IDEA IDE for Java. With IntelliJ, there is an option during the install to add a dialogue to the system so you can open folders as projects in IntelliJ. Is it possible to do the same thing with CLion?

Even if the question is already older, there is a way to add a subsequent entry. This works also when installed via Toolbox.

Here's an example using CLion Nova:

  1. Open the Registry (Win + R and then type regedit)
  2. Navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
  3. Create a key: CLionNova (or another name)
  4. Create a key: command
  5. In CLionNova Key, set the value of (Default) to: Open Folder as CLion Nova Project
  6. Add another string with the name Icon.
  7. Set the value for Icon to the path of the tool executable or the icon file. E.g. C:\_Entwicklung\Jetbrains\CLion Nova\bin\clion.ico
  8. In the command subkey, set the path to the executable with the argument '%V,' for example, "C:\_Entwicklung\Jetbrains\CLion Nova\bin\clion64.exe" "%V"
  9. Repeat steps 2 to 8 in: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell and replace command %V with %1

Now the entry should be available.

Yes, in CLion you need to check the Add “Open Folder as Project” option during the installation process:
