Hello,

Try drag&drop from Windows-Explorer to the changelist. This is the most easy way using p4win. You will get a menu were you may activate a checkbox saying open for add only. I think that is what you want.

Freundliche Gr??e / Best regards

Under VSS it is very easy to add new files to a project - there's a menu option for it.

I assume that it lists the contents of the directory and those files that aren't in the project are added to the dialog.

Now I can't find a similar easy way of doing the same under P4Win - i.e. an option on the context menu for a folder. I & my colleagues have had a quick look, but we are relatively new to Perforce so could have easily missed the relevant option.

The "File | Add to Source Control..." option lists all the files in the folder, not just the ones not currently under source control.

Is there a switch we can set or modification we can make to give this functionality?
