Perforce Checkout
Answered
It would be very useful to have a "checkout" option here on the Perforce submenu for a few reasons.
On windows there is a work around where you can attempt to edit a locked file. As far as I'm aware this is the only way to check a file out.
But on my linux box where the files are not locked, there is no way to perform a check out. Our workflow in the office requires filed to be checked out and in change lists, and it is disappointing that Rider cannot do this for me and that I have to do it in the command line, the visual helix client, or even the Unity3d interface.

Could you please elaborate on why the workflow described in our User Guide is not convenient?

My problem is that when the files are not locked, there is no way to check them out.
AFAIK, there is no Checkout command in Perforce. There is p4 edit that marks a file as modified. What exact operation do you mean?
If a file is not locked, you just need to call Edit from the context menu, or automatically (IDE should suggest doing this when you change a read-only file), then submit the modifications.
Ohhhhhhh. Edit in the UI of P4V, Unity3D and even the Visual Studio Plugin is called "Checkout". I don't use the command line at all.
This screenshot is P4V.
Hey Also, I forgot to say thanks for helping me with my support question!
