Does not apply to all idea projects

[danieljelder]

When I read the following in the README:

Option #2
To change the code style config files for all IDEA projects

Run ktlint executable with the appropriate flag:

ktlint applyToIDEA

My understanding is that I should be able to run that command from anywhere, and it will apply to all my IDEA project. However, it complains that no .idea directory was found.

Expected Behavior

The formatting will apply globally, in whatever project I'm currently in.

Observed Behavior

$ ktlint applyToIDEA
.idea directory not found. Are you sure you are inside project root directory?

If I run it in a directory that has a .idea directory, it seems to only apply to that project.

Steps to Reproduce

Run the following in any directory other than an idea project:

ktlint applyToIDEA

Your Environment

• Version of ktlint used: 0.41.0
• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
