[p4] Exclusive checkout in P4V

[Filip Gruszczyński]

Hi!
I know, that I can first checkout a file and the lock it in P4V. Can Ido both with one click? Our artists work a lot on binary files and wewould like to allow to do a few less clicks.

Change the file type of the files in question to 'binary+l'. The first
user to check out such a file will automatically lock it against further
checkouts. See 'p4 help filetypes' for more information.

If this is a file you only want one person working on at a time, you can
change the properties of the file such that checks outs are exclusive to
one person at a time.

Assuming that is the case, you may want to look at the typemap command
('p4 help typemap') and the references at
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/o.ftypes.html#1040647.

Others have correctly pointed out that you should use the +l file type
modifier to get exclusive checkout.

I just wanted to point out that locking the file using the Lock menu option
does NOT invoke exclusive checkout. It simply reserves the right to be the
next one to check in, which is different and does not accomplish what you
want.

OK, thank you all. I'll write a small script to add this modifier to all files.
There is one more question: can I set the server in such way, thatthey are automatically modified with +l?

You can use 'p4 typemap' to set up a default filename -> filetype
mapping, such that all new files that match a specified pattern are
mapped to a given type. See the section "Defining Perforce filetypes
with typemap" in the system administrator's guide.

Tony.
