[p4] A tool to list all files that haven't been added

[Rick Cameron]

I don't know p4v very well - can you tell me how to use the folder diff
to identify local source files that are not in the depot?

When I use Tools | Diff I have to put references to locations of the
same type (i.e. two depot paths, or two local paths) in the dialog. It
doesn't appear to allow me to compare a local directory with a depot
folder.

This is with p4v 2005.2/94595.

Cheers

- rick

p4v's folder diff will do this.  So will araxis w/ the Perforce plugin.
