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 can't find it.

(I know I can do it manually.)

Here is the P4Win feature, in all i开发者_如何学Gots glory:

This is typical for the P4 GUI (old and new) - it can do lots of things, if only you knew where to look (hint: usually not where you'd expect to find it).

There IS an option in P4V similar to the old 'Add Files to client view' from P4Win, only a lot more powerful! (it's a bit hidden and IMO not as streamlined as the original)

You can't find it in the depot view, where you probably ARE when you need it. Instead, go to Workspaces view, right-click the workspace definition and 'Edit' it (or dbl-click it then click 'Edit').

Notice the tabs on top of the 'Workspace editor' window that just opened. Select the 'View' tab. There is a lot going on here, including (apparently) information on the new 'Offline' mode.

To get to the point: in this window, find the piece of depot you need and right-click it.

Nirvana! There are no less than 6 menu options (!) that allow you to specify how and what to add OR remove to/from the workspace definition.

There's even an 'advanced' mode that looks a bit scary :-&

For P4V version : Rev. Perforce Visual Client/LINUX26X86_64/2012.1/490402

Released on 2012 July 02

Do as follows

Go to Connections -> Edit Current Workspace

In the Basic tab , Workspace Mappings , Right click on the tree and Include Tree.

I don't think that there is, you need to open the Workspace view and make your changes there.

Edit your workspace and change the view to include the relevant directory. Although I use P4V everyday and 'Add to client view' seems to ring a bell....

Of note, they added this feature into the P4V client at some point. You can now right click on a path in the depot tab and choose "Map to Workspace View...". It will bring up the workspace editor with the path added.
