Perforce - only for experts?

I use P4V client. I just want to do basic tasks; I don't want to use the command line and become an expert at Perforce. The simple task I'm trying to accomplish is to copy the description and file list of a submitted changelist. Is there any way to do this basic task?

There is a two step process in p4v, where you open the submitted changelist view and:

  1. select the description of the changelist in question and copy it, then paste it to your destination.
  2. open the node of the changelist and select the file names that you would like, copy those and paste them to your destination.

note that you can also print the changelist including submitted files from this view, if a hard copy is what you are after.

I agree that that p4win was better suited for this task, and that the command line solution is a bit less tedious.

Using the command line does not make one an expert.

p4 describe <changelist> was a whole lot shorter to type than your question :)
