Description

« Hide

Syncing specific folders is discouraged here - everything is supposed to be synced to the same CL. This means users cannot use VCS->Update Project, as it seems to only run p4 sync on particular folders. I'd like an option to just run plain old p4 sync without any arguments.

This is one more option that is best handled by patching your version of the Perforce plugin rather than cluttering the main one with options that are very specific to particular workflows.

Fair enough.. I'd actually be surprised if most companies sync individual folders like IntelliJ does. Is this what you guys do? Do you ever do an argless p4 sync?

Our Perforce depot contains multiple projects, and many developers have more than one project in their clientspec, but actively work with only one project. So an argless p4 sync would often pull much more stuff than actually needed.
