Question

How do I disable \"Scan for external changes\" in netbeans ?

Answer 1

I'm using MAC Netbeans 8.1 and I dont have NetBeans/Preferences/Miscellaneous/Files Can someone help please? checking external changes is using all CPU

I dont have Preferences in my main menu

PS: I found my solution; I just mention it for others who run into the same issue ; just use this short key to open Cmd-, to open the menu: NetBeans/Preferences/Miscellaneous/Files
