PyCharm Professional not recognizing .ipynb files - python

PyCharm not recognizing .ipynb files:
I installed 'jupyter notebook' using pip3 but whenever I create a jupyter notebook file on pycharm professional, it doesn't recognize it.

Check File Type settings for Jupyter notebooks - ipynb should be assigned to it.

I know this question was asked almost two years ago but for anyone with the same problem going forward, it appears as of Dec. 22, 2022, .ipynb files are only supported in PyCharm Professional:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/jupyter-notebook-support.html
From the link it says, "Available only in PyCharm Professional: download to try or compare editions."
The link suggests DataSpell as an alternative and the trial version is free. DataSpell also supports anaconda, R, and SQL.

.ipynb files visible in Jupyter but not from Windows File Explorer

I'm able to see my .ipynb files when using Jupyter (installed through Anaconda), but I just can't see them in my Desktop or wherever they're saved when using Windows File Explorer. What could cause this and how can I locate the files?
Here is what I mean:
Windows File Explorer
Jupyter
I was having the same problem has you, my solution download the file through jupyter.
File -> Download.
I still can't understand the reason why but after I downloaded the file from the same folder into the same folder it start appearing in my windows explorer folder
I had the same problem as you but realized that it was just a minor thing.
For me, I had installed Anaconda only for the current user. So it was using "C:\Users\username\Desktop" and not "C:\Users\Public\Desktop". The latter is the usual Desktop that is referred to as "This PC\Desktop".
Try looking into "C:\Users\username\Desktop".

Jupyter file open doesn't appear in the new file list

I fell like I'm might be doing something really silly here but I've been researching for 30 mins and can't find an answer.
I'm working in Pycharm on python version 3.7. In pycharm I have created a new project and within have set a venv with python 3.7 as the interpreter. I then went to settings and installed the jupyter meta package version 1.0.0. I got the message "Package 'jupyter' installed successfully."
When I go to create a new file however I don't have the option to create a jupyter file, only a .py file.
I've tried restarting my computer (I'm on a mac) and I have tried setting up the project in a conda environment, neither made any difference. I also thought am I actually installing jupyter-notebook so I then installed jupyterlab 1.2.4 and I still can't create a jupyter-notebook file.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Only the professional version of PyCharm supports Jupyter notebooks.
Here is a full tutorial on how to configure PyCharm to use Jupyter notebooks:

Anaconda uses Jupyter notebooks so why option to install VS Code?

I installed Anaconda as it's a recommended way to start with Jupyter notebooks.
I was surprised at the end of the Anaconda windows install to be invited to install Microsoft VS Code as a code editor. Reading about VS Code it seems a well respected editor but does that not take away the idea of using using Jupyter notebooks? Or am I missing something?
Anaconda also installs IDLE and Spyder, which are IDEs (Integrated Development Environments). Anaconda simply gives you a choice. Each of those choices has its advantages and disadvantages. Using one does not prohibit you from also using another.
Jupyter might recommend using Anaconda, but this doesn't imply that Anaconda would recommend using Jupyter.
You are right that if you are going to focus on Jupyter notebooks you won't need to use VS Code.
But most people that use Anaconda are not using Jupyter notebooks - they write python scripts not notebooks - and for that vscode is a respected choice.

A way to quick preview .ipynb files

Got a small basic question. I use a Mac, and I used to work in .py files with Sublime 3. One of the things I liked was that when Sublime is closed, for a given file in a folder--if I'm looking for a bit of code--I could hit the spacebar and Macs open a quick preview of the .py document.
Now I'm working in Jupyter Notebook and saving everything as .ipynb files. Now I can't hit the spacebar and glance at files--I launch JN from the command land and it's far slower.
I suspect there are quicker ways to open .ipynb files in browser windows, but what I really want to know is is there a way to quickly preview those file contents from my desktop? Alternatively, is there a way to work in Jupiter Notebook but save the files as .py (and later seamlessly reopen in JN), such that I could still use the great old spacebar trick?
Thanks for you patience with a pretty small question :)
It's been a while since the last answer, but just in case anyone else is looking to use Mac Quicklook to preview Jupyter Notebooks .ipynb files, this app does the job:
Jupyter Notebook Viewer - https://github.com/tuxu/nbviewer-app
You can either download the app from that page or install using brew cask
brew cask install jupyter-notebook-viewer
If the preview is not working you should reload quicklook.
Just open a terminal windows and run. It worked for me on macOS High Sierra.
qlmanage -r
Now enjoy quicklook preview for Jupyter Notebook files :)
I had this same question at the weekend.
I came across two things:
a) this project on Github: https://github.com/jendas1/jupyter-notebook-quick-look
and
b) The Jupyter app which allows you to open Notebooks in Finder on the mac: https://github.com/jendas1/JupyterApp
Caveat - I book marked these, but due to other work I have not had time to download, install or test these.
If you do, please let me know how you get on!
As an update to the previous answers, I'd like to recommend nbviewer.js which is a client-side ipynb renderer. You can use it online at https://kokes.github.io/nbviewer.js/viewer.html
In case anyone wants to do the same on linux, you can check this out
nb-viewer which lets you preview Jupyter notebooks with a double click!
Update for the most recent version of MacOS (tested on macOS Big Sur v11.6) & newer brew versions:
To install Jupyter Notebook Viewer - https://github.com/tuxu/nbviewer-app follow these steps:
brew install --cask jupyter-notebook-viewer
Manually start /Applications/Jupyter Notebook Viewer.app using command + open (to allow a third-party app to be started)
qlmanage -r

Open a ipython notebook- No knowledge about python as of yet

I need to open a ipython notebook (.ipynb extension file) to look for some work done by a previous colleague. However, I do not have a knowledge of how the python structure works. Can someone guide me on what should be the easiest way to look at the file?
You'll need to install iPython, either on its own or as part of a prepackaged distribution such as Anaconda. You can then open iPython Notebook with your browser and find the notebook of your interest on your drive.
