@seandrexler: Sorry it took me a while, but I fixed the unhandled exception. It was a harmless attempted access of the Global ScintillaControl.

I updated the Download link at the top of the page, and also created a new Portable package with FD4 RC1 & the plugins already installed. Download HERE.

Hi Sam, thanks for this handy plug-in! Been using it about a week, and have just a couple bugs to report -- if you're interested!

Both of these revolve around having the "Open for Edit Silently" option set to True.

1. Pasting (pressing Ctrl-V) as the first method of modifying an open file does not cause the Open for Edit Silently to occur.

2. Open for Edit Silently does not occur in the following situation:
a. Open a file.
b. Make a change (Open for Edit Silently will occur).
c. Save your changes.
d. Leave the file open in FlashDevelop.
e. Go to external Perforce client, i.e. P4V, and check in the file.
f. Go back to FlashDevelop and change the same file (it's still open).
g. Open for Edit Silently does not occur.

Best wishes,

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond, but I wanted to get back to you on the issues you mentioned. I tried fixing them but unfortunately I ran into some issues. It appears Scintilla, the text editing engine powering FlashDevelop, doesn't provide "file modified" events when you attempt to paste on a read-only file, or when a file's read-only flag gets modified externally. This makes fixing the issues you pointed out pretty tricky.

So far I've been working around them by using the context menu (you can click anywhere in the editor area to bring it up, doesn't need to be on the file tab):



Sorry to bring bad news, hope the plugin's been useful to you!

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I'd really like to use this plugin but am having an issue. Any time the plugin requests a file checkout, I get an error dialog with the message "{filename} - file(s) not on client." However, I'm able to check out files just fine from the Perforce client. Any ideas?

This is an old thread, but I am alive and well, and use my plugins every day at my job, so I will help!

The plugin uses the command line to execute the commands, the issue you describe tells me that P4.exe is not properly configured. It's likely you use P4V, which is the newer version of the client and doesn't use the command line.

The way I solve these types of issues before is by configuring the old P4Win client, which does use the command line to execute it's commands. Could you check to see if your P4Win client is properly configured and you can checkout files from it?

If you still run into trouble, please read the Configuring P4 page on the Perforce website.

Hi CrazySam!

I have a pseudo-simple feature request for you with this plugin!

An option that uses the -c (Client) perforce switch. Just a simple text field that if anything is present inside it also appends -c whatever-client-name at the beginning.


Alternatively: I can has source for the FD4 version?

Done. In addition, the source for the FD4 version was added to the zip file.

Thanks for the suggestion!

That was fast, impressive!

Thank you very much. It simply works. You've just removed a lot of pain from a lot of developers for where I work.

I would like to thank you very much for the plugin! It is really a great addition to FlashDevelop!

To throw in my five cents of suggestions, a "test connection" button to validate that all the data is valid would be awesome! And also, maybe a P4 port field would also help a lot, since here, we don't use the default 1116 port!

Best,
Felipe.

Thanks for making this plugin!
It would be even more useful for me if I could set the P4HOST value used for perforce connections.

Maybe an option to read settings from environment variables would be a simple fix to all similar requests.

Great plugin!

Maybe you can make similar for the Git?

I very highly recommend you use SourceTree if you're using git (on Windows and Mac). It's by far the best program manage your git repositories, and even though it doesn't interface with FD, it features an extremely feature complete and easy to use GUI.

Would it be possible to get more advanced actions added as well? History and Timelapse would be immensely useful to find out if you're working on the head version of something.

Not sure if helpful, but in VisualStudio we use NiftyPerforce, which while not particularly robust, has spoiled me with easy Timelapse access.

Seems like there's quite a few people interested in adding new features to this plugin. I'm quite happy with it as is, but I'm not opposed to making it better either. So I'm hosting the code on github and hoping there will be some people involved willing make pull requests.

The plugin is extremely simple, and since it's just settings and calling perforce commands through the command line, it's very easy to extend.

I will continue to support this plugin, but I would appreciate assistance from the community.
