<H3>Changing Filetypes</H3>
<p>
In Perforce, you can change the
<a href="help_filetypes.html">filetype</a> of files stored in the
depot either by:
<ul>
<p>
<li> specifying a filetype when you open files for <a href="edit.html">edit</a>
or <a href="integrate.html">integrate</a>, or
<p>
<li><b>reopening</b> files already opened for <a href="add.html">add</a>, edit,
or integrate (clicking the "Reopen" button in the "Change Filetype" form after
you have selected files and entered a new filetype.)
</ul>
<p> The new filetype takes effect when you <a href="submit.html">submit</a> your
opened files to the depot. (See <a href="help_filetypes.html">Filetypes</a>
for a list of Perforce filetypes.)
<p> Selecting <b>Change filetype...</b> from the <b>Action</b> menu brings up
a form that lets you enter a new filetype and reopen your opened files using
that filetype.
If you chose <b>Change filetype...</b> with a directory selected, the form
enables you to select the files on which the <b>Reopen</b> command operates.
See <a href="restrictfiles.html">Restricting Files Used in Commands</a> for
more information.
