Piper is a Perforce desktop client that is designed to be simpler to use than P4V.
Note that Piper has nowhere near the functionality of P4V, and probably never will (in fact, the original project has a 2.0 version that has an even simpler interface!)
The Piper project includes two scripts:
SubmitTagger.py - this script adds comma-delimited "tags" to the items in the corresponding changelist. By default, tags are specified in the changelist description using hashtag-style words (e.g. #funStuff).
ThumbnailGenerator.py
TBC
The markdown file README.md
(this document) is located in the project's root directory
on the Workshop.
Piper has been tested with Perforce server version 2013.2 and above, although there is no reason that it should not work with an earlier Perforce version.
Piper can search the Perforce repository if you have P4Search
Piper has been tested with Mac OSX 10.9 and above.
Piper has been tested with Windows 7 and Windows 8. Piper does require .Net 4.5 to function. The Piper installer (msi) makes registry entries and must be run by a user with administrative rights.
Currently, Piper only supports classic Perforce depots (i.e. no streams). It wouldn't be too difficult to modify Piper to support using streams (and in fact might make workspace management a lot easier).
Piper is distributed in a BYOS model... Bring Your Own Support.
Issues are tracked on the Workshop under the Jobs tab.
