Unless otherwise specified, the files will be opened for edit with the same filetype with which they were last submitted, and the files will be opened for editing in the default changelist.

Open using file type:

A file's filetype indicates both how the file is handled on the client and how it is stored on the Perforce server. A filetype can be specified either alone as filetype or by specifying a base filetype and using the supported type modifiers in the form filetype+modifiers.

If you don't specify a filetype, P4Web will use the same filetype associated with the file when it was last submitted to the depot. This is the default option.

If you wish to change the file type, activate the checkbox in the Options menu and enter the desired filetype in the space provided.

Open files for edit in changelist:

If you have more than one changelist pending when you run the Edit command, a checkbox and a drop-down list of currently-pending changelists will appear. To open files for edit within a specific changelist, activate the checkbox and use the drop-down menu to specify the desired changelist.

Files in //client-path:

• ...and subdirectories:
  Files in the specified client path and all directories below will be opened for edit.

  This is equivalent to the command line:
  p4 edit //client-path/...

• ...at this level only:
  Only files in the specified client path will be opened for edit. Any files in directories beneath the client path will be untouched.

  This is equivalent to the command line:
  p4 edit //client-path/*

Selected Files:

If files at the current directory level are eligible for the operation (e.g. unopened files for Open for Edit, already-opened files for Revert files), a list of such files will appear.

To include or exclude individual files from the operation, click on the checkboxes for each file, and activate the radio button for the Selected Files option.
