[p4] ubinary

[Mick West]

Interesting.  I'd added a type maps to binary+l for all our binary
files, not thinking about possible slowdown from the double compression.
 
So now I've changed the type map for .PNG to binary+Fl  (same as
ubinary+l),  but it's only going to change the type of new files I add.
 
I hesitate to do
 
p4 edit -t binary+Fl   \\depot\skate5\....png
p4 submit
 
as it's 53MB (4600 files) of .pngs (actually probably won't take that
long?).   But I'll also have to make sure there are no .pngs checked
out.  
 
Is there an approved way of changing the type of a large number of
files?
 
Mick

Not someone - ubinary is the Perforce default for pre-compressed binary
types.  Like GIFs.

ubinary = Uncompressed Binary  (same as +F modifier)

Possibly someone typemapped .gif to uncompressed so they could browse
previous versions within the depot manually.  It's not a problem, just
eats up more space in theory.  But in practice not so much, since .gif
is already compressed (which might be another reason to set it ubinary,
as it's theoretically faster)

try:

 p4 help filetypes

and

 p4 help typemap

for more info
