Hi,
As we begin to add more users and they add more clients I imagine that
the 'p4 clients' list will get a bit unwieldy. Even in the GUI, the
list of available clients will become confusing to new users.
Is there a way to restrict the list of clients by user? That way, the
user 'joebob' would only see the clients he created.
Well, our current solution is the convention that all client names are
of the form "<loginname>:<clientname>", so that, e.g.,
p4 clients | grep rmg:
does the job. This actually seems to work OK for now. But a "p4
clients -o <owner>" option might be nice.
As for the GUI, yes, I suspect there are a number of dimensions
(users, clients, jobs, fixes) in which a large Perforce depot will tax
the current GUI implementation, and I expect Perforce will have to
deal with this by allowing the GUI user to do more filtering of
various sorts.
