No, that is not correct.  It will sync all the files defined in the client
mappings.  In order to get the behavior you describe, you must limit
p4 sync by specifying a set of files, like "p4 sync ..."  that will then
make sync work relative to your current location.  A bare "p4 sync"  will
bring your whole client up to date.



What I need is to be able to do a sync on multiple folders

I do not know what it means to "pull proj2", but perhaps you must need to include
those other folders in your client mapping.

//depot/Development/...
//depot/proj1/...
//depot/proj2/...
etc.
