How do I get Time Lapse View in P4Win?
In the past, on Windows XP machines, I was able to install P4V (the stupid platform-independent Perforce visual client that Perforce tries to shove down your throats), then after that, install P4Win (the wonderful clean robust mature visual client that Perforce is stupidly trying to deprecate). If I did the installs in that order (and o...
Perforce - only for experts?

Perforce changelist does not show any files.
Using P4V 2009.2. I have used P4Win in the past, but this is a new setup for me. The problem is that the files I have checked out disappear from the changelists, so I cannot check them in.

Extending Perforce to use a custom content diff tool for certain file extensions
I have various custom binary files stored in perforce and for many of the file types I have built a custom diff tool to show the content creators a diff of the actual changes to the file. E.g. If the file holds simple key value pairs as a compressed binary blob the diff tool would load each version into an in memory format and generate...

Reapplying changelist in perforce
I'm rather new to perforce, but have quite a bit of other VCS experience... Imagine this: You submit changes (changelist 1) A colleague submits changes on the same branch, accidentally overwriting your changes. (changelist 2) I tried integrating (which P4V refuses to do since it's already integrated) and looked around for a way to...
p4v getting files as writable
Perforce is downloading files to the external hard-drive connected to my MacBookPro as writable ("777"). It's as if the "allwrite" option is set in my workspace, but it's not. I thought Perforce was supposed to mark the files read-only until I check them out. Is there a setting somewhere I missed? Rev. P4V/MACOSX104U/2009.2/236331 Ma...
Perforce: P4V option to 'add to client view'? (It exists in P4Win)
In the Perforce realm, the P4Win GUI is now "legacy" and the new P4V is supposed to fill in the void (and it does, most of the time). There was one very useful (albeit rather hidden) option in P4Win that allowed adding a depot path to the client specification in a few clicks. Is there a similar option available in P4V? ... because I ca...
Does p4V have a good way to merge integration files without having to click a lot?
When performing integrations, sometimes you need to merge files. The old Perforce GUI (P4Win) had a nice Ctrl+M hotkey I could use to run my merge tool quckly and easily. In P4V, I find I need to right-click the file, click on Resolve, and then click on Run Merge Tool. Alternatively I can right click, O, O, Enter, and then click on Run...

Actually, I don't want you tracking that file after all ... but how do I get Perforce to listen?
Sometimes I "Mark for Add" and add files to Perforce which I actually didn't want Perforce to worry about. Is there a way to revert it so it just goes back to showing in P4V as an "untracked" item? See my example: I've added mil.ico and mil3.ico by mistake. I just want them to go back to looking like test.ico, ie. ignored by Perforce...
Perforce Get Latest Revision doesn't get checked-out files?
When using p4v to sync a project onto a 2nd machine I was surprised to see that files I had checked out on my primary machine were not included in the "Get Revision" (Get Latest Revision and Force options selected). This seems like an elemental thing to get working but I can't find how to force this other than perhaps tagging the sourc...
