P4V program files

P4Vcreates settings files, and (if you enable logging), a log file on your computer. These files are stored in the following locations under your home directory:

Settings files

000x.ws: contain connection information for each workspace, and expressions or filters that have been used to search within P4V.

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

settings: stores global information about P4V, plus an index of the 000x.ws files stored on this machine.

Log file

log.txt: If you enable P4V logging, this file contains all information displayed in the Log pane (regardless of whether the Log pane is displayed).

Configuring help file location (Linux/Unix only)

By default, the P4V help files are installed in a directory called P4VResources, located in the directory where P4V is installed. Before starting P4V, you must set the P4VDIR environment variable to point to the directory containing the P4VResources directory, or set the P4VRES variable to point to the P4VResources directory. If the P4V executable and P4VResources directory are both installed under usr/local/bin, the following examples show you how to set P4VRES and P4VDIR:

% setenv P4VRES /usr/local/bin/P4VResources

or

% setenv P4VDIR /usr/local/bin

If you move the help files to another directory, P4V cannot find them automatically and prompts you to browse to them.
