Perforce: Is it possible to execute an integrate command on multiple files (not folders) ?

Hi,

I'm trying to execute an "Integrate" perforce command (see: http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/integrate.html) on a list of files and not on a single file or a specific folder.

Is such a thing possible ?

In other words, is it possible to specify multiple files (and their respective integration paths) in one command ? This would save me the trouble of having to call this command for each file that I'd like to integrate and in the process reduces the number of round-trips on the P4 server.

If not, do you have another command to recommend?

Thanks

Perforce Get Latest Revision doesn't get checked-out files?

This is an elemental thing. Syncing on one computer is in no way influenced by what you have open for edit on another. Syncing retrieves all those files regardless of who has them checked out, unless you have confused the server by messing with files outside the Perforce client. However, you said you used the -f option, which would solve that problem.

Are you sure you don't have those missing files open for add and not for edit?

How can I tell P4SCC to ignore files?

I started on a new project a few months ago and am forced to use perforce (pun intended). I have experience with a variety of distributed and monolithic VCS, especially SVN with Ankh as SC plugin in visual studio...that said, I have been evading some..quirks perforce has by applying various workarounds you can find, mainly here on SO. This issue though is something I do not want to give up on so fast, so I hope some of you guys can help me out with it.

I installed the P4SCC plugin in my VS 2010, and at least I got to open the solution and it seems to work as expected. But since VS creates a bunch of metafiles, namely *.vspscc and other scc files, the plugin lists thos in the "pending checkins" window. In P4V you can just revert files marked for add and they will be ignored, even though they remain in the file system...not so here. Apparently P4 does not consider the files as "added" or "changed", so will not revert. Since the files are not part of the solution or projects (at least according to VS), they do not show up in the solution explorer and therefor I cannot use the "File->Source Control->Remove file from source control" option.

I tried different things to ignore those files, since I do not want to check them into the repository. Sadly, I only find ways to get files out of the view in P4V as described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/55449/can-you-ignore-a-file-in-perforce Since I told P4SCC to use the same workspace as I do in P4V, I expected those changes to apply to it as well...but once again perforce has NOT behaved as I would have expected.

The temptation is getting bigger to just check in the darn things (alghough there's easily 100+ of them...), but that just seems wrong. So my question is:

Is there any way, no matter how hacky, to get P4SCC to ignore these files, or any files in that manner?

P4 shelve of commited files

You can diff a submitted changelist against the depot at a previous state. In your history tab, (View -> History in Menu Bar), select the changelist of interest. Drag the changelist onto the previous changelist number (be sure you have the top level of your depot/workspace selected, or at least a high enough point to include all your changes). This will open up a dialog which will be a type of directory diff which will show all the changed files. Use the arrows in the toolbar to move between changed files. Use the drag and drop and drag the old file onto the new one to see the changes between the files.

With the command line you can also do this: let's pretend your changelist is 1300

p4 diff2 ...@1299 ...@1300

but this uses the text-only 'diff'.
