[p4] P4V and check out of a binary file not at latest revision

[Nancy Nadeau]

Here we go for my first posting (well... not one sent by an out of office 
agent ;-))

I have the following scenario:
* a file mytexture.bmp (a binary file) is at version 10 on the server
* an artist is synced with version 7.
* he does a Check Out in P4V
* a little message in the log window gets displayed saying that he will have 
to resolve #8,#10 before submitting.

But since it's a binary file that will never be possible!!!

In P4Win there is a dialog that pops up and it gives you the possibility to do 
Sync then Edit... but I can't find an option that would give me the equivalent 
in P4V. Am I missing something?

Or is the only solution to write a script to make sure an artist checks out 
the latest revision?

Of course one could say that the artist could have noticed before doing the 
Check Out that he was not synced to the latest revision since it's written at 
the end of the file 
    mytexture.bmp #7/10 <binary>
But for those of you who deal with artists you surely know that it's not the 
kind of things that most of them notices... ;-)
So how do you deal with this?

Thanks,
