Workspaces
The 'host' field in the workspace limits its use to that computer. Changing the host field to blank or more preferably the name of the new computer will allow it to be used on the new computer, however you must also either:
- copy all the data from the old root to the same directory on the new computer, assuming you wish to use the same root path, or
- perform a forced full sync
doing this ensures the workspace is in sync with the server.
To do this, click the 'workspace' icon (picture of a terminal screen), click the cancel filter icon to view all workspaces (top right of the panel, a cross over a funnel). Right click on the desired workspace and select 'edit workspace' and change the host field (in advanced tab) to the name of the new computer, or clear the host field. After doing this, the 'switch to workspace' option will appear on the context menu.
To find the name of the new computer select 'create a new workspace' from Connection menu and note the name of the 'host' field and then cancel the menu.
Bookmarks
P4V does not have an easy method for transferring bookmarks, however bookmarks are stored in bookmarks.xml found in a directory:
C:\Users\loginname\.p4qt\nnnnClients\ If you only have one directory called '0001Clients' you're in luck, but you may have more than one of these directories so it may require searching for the right bookmarks.xml file. Once you find the right one, transfer it to the new computer which is likely to only have one of these directories and the bookmarks will appear after reloading the client.
