Streams
You can configure the way
P4V
handles operations such as branching and reparenting streams:
- When branching streams, include file deletion actions (Server 12.1
or later): Select to include files that were deleted from the
parent stream when
P4V
populates the child stream. Equivalent to
p4 populate
-f
command. The default behavior is to skip deleted
files when branching to a new stream.
- Don’t allow streams to be reparented with drag and drop in the
stream graph: Disables drag and drop of streams inside the
P4V
stream graph. This is helpful if you find yourself accidentally
reparenting streams while working within the stream graph.
- Do not warn when checking out, adding, or deleting imported
files: Specifies the default behavior when operating on files
that are imported into the current stream from another location. Choose
act on imported files to have the files marked for edit, add, or
delete as appropriate. Choose ignore action for imported files
to have the file operations quietly ignored.
You can configure the way
P4V
handles workspaces when you perform stream operations with the
following:
- When clicking 'Work in this Stream': Select use different
workspace to have
P4V
prompt to create a new workspace for the selected stream if needs be.
Select reuse current workspace to have
P4V
automatically switch your current workspace to the selected stream.
Select this option if you regularly use streams with nearly identical
workspace views and do not want to re-sync (retrieve) large amounts of
redundant content each time you switch streams.
- When dragging workspace icon to a new stream: Select use
different workspace to have
P4V
prompt to create a new workspace for the selected stream if needs be.
Select reuse current workspace to have
P4V
automatically switch your current workspace to the selected stream.
Select this option if you regularly use streams with nearly identical
workspace views and do not want to re-sync (retrieve) large amounts of
redundant content each time you switch streams.
- Don’t warn me when switching workspaces: Specifies whether
P4V
switches workspaces silently when you switch streams.
- Automatically update the workspace with all stream files when
switching between streams: Syncs (retrieves) files to your
workspace when you switch between streams without being prompted.
You can control the display properties of the stream graph with the
following:
- Display stream: Select the default name display and stream
node width when viewing streams in the Stream Graph. To view the full
depot path of the task stream in the Stream Graph, select Stream
Root. Select Name to view the stream name only. You can
override these defaults in Graph View Options on the Streams tab.
- Stream width: Adjust the slider to change the width of the
stream nodes in the graph.
- Show pending stream-to-stream merge and copy hints: Enable to
show which streams have changes to copy or merge. When disabled pending
stream-to-parent merge and copy hints can be displayed by refreshing
individual streams. Disabling this option reduces the amount of data
P4V
needs to request from the server.
