Changing a file's type
Perforce file types determine how a file is stored in the depot and synced
to the workspace, and whether it can be diffed.
To change a file's Perforce file type (or other storage attributes):
- Context-click the desired file and choose Check Out. The file is checked out.
- Context-click the file and choose Change Attributes... The Attributes
dialog is displayed.
- Set the desired attributes and click OK to dismiss the dialog.
- Submit the changelist containing the file.
For details about file types and attributes, refer to the Perforce Command
Reference.
