Thanks Robert.
Is it true that Perforce automatically know when a file is not binary? If it is true, then we don't need to checkin binary with the "p4 add -binary <file>" command?

Ubinary is an old filetype.
It means uncompressed binary - plain binary files are stored as a compressed copy of each revision.
It is useful for cases like .zip files and similar where it makes no sense to try and compress an already compressed file.

Hello All,
Does anyone know what ubinary means in p4win? We check a .gif file into the depot and the word "ubinary" show up next to the .gif file in the Perforce window (p4win). If I checkin the .gif file as binary (p4 add -t binary <file>), it then display "binary."
So, what does ubinary means? Does Perforce automatically know when we checkin a file that is not binary? Is it ok to leave it as ubinary?
Thanks,
Stacy
