Where does IntelliJ IDEA store shelf changes on the local drive?

Question

I want to write a small backup script that would take my shelf changes in IntelliJ from my local drive and put them on a network drive. But I can\'t locate the path to where

Answer 1

IntelliJ IDEA 12 on Windows7, default location

%UserHome%\.IdeaIC12\config\shelf\*.patch

i.e. _IDE_config_folder_\shelf\*.patch

Note non default IDE config folder location can be looked up in _IDEA_HOME_\bin\idea.properties idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IdeaIC/config
