I use Xcode 3.1.1 at work and it does not work well with Perforce, which is sad because I really love Perforce.<\/p>\n
So, I have been using an application that a co-worker told me about called DTerm<\/a> to help me check out files held in Perforce. This program is a great utility in that it allows me to invoke a command from anywhere in the Mac OS or in any program. If I have a file selected in a Xcode project and then I bring up DTerm, I can type “p4 edit” then hit Cmd+Shift+V to enter the name of the file I have highlighted. Hooray!<\/p>\n However, you can’t do this with project files. Xcode won’t let you select the project file so that you can check out the file, which is actually a folder in disguise. Boooo!<\/p>\n For each of my projects, I have a folder for the platform I am targeting. So for the Mac, I have a folder named “mac” which has my project file, objects and output binaries. A lot of times I check out the entire directory using P4V since I need to overwrite the libraries that are in there.<\/p>\n Today, I discovered how you can check a directories contents in one fell swoop: “p4 edit …”. Oh. My. God! This is great! This is awesome! You don’t know how much time I just saved by doing that!<\/p>\n If you get anything out of this entry is that “p4 edit …” is awesome. Now don’t abuse that power or you’re liable of getting into trouble.<\/p>\n Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I use Xcode 3.1.1 at work and it does not work well with Perforce, which is sad because I really love Perforce.
