P4V program files

When you install P4V, some ancillary files are installed on your system.

Settings files

000x.ws: These files contain connection information for each workspace, as well as any expressions or filters that have been used to search within P4V.

000x.ws.ui: These files contain settings such as window size and position, as well as status information and directory state.

settings: This file stores global information about P4V. It also provides an index of the 000x.ws files stored on this machine.

Log file

log.txt: If you have selected Enable logging to file under Preferences (default setting), this is a record of all information displayed in the Log pane.

To view the Log pane from within P4V, select Help > Show Log. Log information is recorded to the log.txt file, regardless of whether or not you have the Log pane showing.

Help files (Linux/Unix only)

On Linux/Unix, the help files are found under: /usr/share/doc/p4v/p4index.html. We recommend that you do not move the help files from this location. If you do, P4V cannot find them automatically and you will need to browse for them.

To access the help from within P4V, select Help > P4V Help.
