P4V User Guide (2020.1)

Viewing effective settings

If you want to view the settings currently in effect, do the following:

  1. Select Help > System Info.
  2. In the System Info dialog box, scroll down to the Application section, which lists all effective settings, along with any disabled features.

    If nothing is listed, the user's local P4V preferences are used.

Following is a sample Application section:

Application:
P4V version: Helix Visual Client/NTX64/2017.2/1532340
Qt build library: 5.6.1
Qt runtime library: 5.6.1
Disabled features: Dashboard, UnloadReload, Jobs
Server refresh interval: 5 minute(s)
Maximum files displayed per changelists: 1000
Maximum file preview size: 100 k-byte(s)
Entries fetched at a time: 100

If the text pushed from the server occurs, this indicates that settings have been set using the p4 property command and are being read from the central properties table.

You can also set properties from the command line using the p4 property command. For example:

p4 property -l -n P4V.Features      // List enabled/disabled features
p4 property -l -n P4V.Performance // List performance-related settings
