PHPStorm : Add file type to the 'new' dialog

Question

I've just re-installed OS X and have forgotten how to add a file type to the new dialog (when you say right click within the project directory, select new and see list of different file types). I want to add Sass, which is currently not listed there. When I select Edit file templates it is there, but just not in the initial dialog.

Any idea?

Screenshots please (New menu and list of actual file templates) -- there could be few different reasons. — LazyOne

Use Stylesheet entry in New menu -- there you can specify what file to create: CSS/Sass/SCSS/Less/Stylus.

Such grouping done on purpose -- to make New menu more compact as on some setups especially where user has quite few own templates it's way to big.

Alternative approach is to create your own Sass template instead of editing pre-defined entry. This way it will be listed as separate entry in New menu.

To clarify things up:

The default Sass File template (which you can edit) will be used if you choose Stylesheet entry in New menu. The logic is the same as with PHP Trait template -- it's not listed in New menu directly but accessible via PHP Class entry where you can choose what object (Class/Interface/Trait) to create.

It's really strange - I had to manually add another SCSS to the list of Code Templates to have it displayed - don't understand what's the purpose of having it listed in the settings, but not in the dialog.

Please read my answer again -- you seems to misread it completely (that's the impression I have from your comment). If you need clarification -- please ask specific question.
