I'm trying to configure P4Sandbox so that I can follow a workflow similar to git. However, after setting up the sandbox the files in my new repo are still readonly. I've tried using p4 client and p4v to change the settings to allwrite. It looks like that change is successful, but after making it the files in the directory are still readonly. Is changing from noallwrite to allwrite supposed to change the permissions on all files managed by the repository? If so any ideas on what I might be doing wrong.

(Note that I am using Windows 7 x64).

  • After you change your client spec, try running 'p4 sync //...#0' followed by 'p4 sync', and see if the local file permissions change. – Bryan Pendleton Jul 30 '13 at 02:51
  • thanks for the suggestion. I ended up turning off read-only using attrib. After that it looked like P4Sandbox was working, but I had other problems with syncing with the main repository. I might experiment with it more later, but for now I'm sticking with the regular Perforce workflow. – Gabriel Southern Jul 30 '13 at 22:26
