What is supposed to happen in the following case: Using 99.1 GUI on NT box. I have a file checked out for edit. I have made some changes but I need to check something in the original. I can diff against the original, but how do I view it in an editor? If I go to the depot window of the UI and find the file I am editing and right click on it and select "View File Using"-> "Associated Viewer" it brings up the file in my editor. The file has a pathname of c:\TEMP\p4win\"some combo of filename version #'. I would expect this to be the original file from the depot, brought down to a temp dir on my local machine so that I can edit it. Instead it appears to be a copy of my edited file from my own client copied to the temp dir and then put into the editor. What use is this? I already have my edited file. So how do I get the orig into an editor from the UI? p4 print <file name> > /tmp/file Then edit /tmp/file does this from the command line.
