Is there a way to get "p4v reconcile offline work"?

Is there a way to get "p4v reconcile offline work" to behave the same way as the command-line "p4 reconcile" when it comes to p4ignore?

I've read Can you "ignore" a directory in P4V? and https://community.perforce.com/s/article/1282 however the problem with those is they are not very flexible. We want different p4ignore files per project so having to either set absolute paths, change the p4v start-in directory, or set a fixed env variable ruin the flexibility.

Ideally, it would work identical to the command line where we create a p4config file in the root of a project and then point its p4ignore variable to a side-by-side p4ignore file which contains the ignore specifications.

Example:

p4config.txt

P4IGNORE=p4ignore.txt

p4ignore.txt

*.obj

If I run "p4 reconcile" from the command-line in the root folder of that project it will correctly reconcile everything but obj files.

If I run "p4v reconcile offline work" from the root folder of that project it will reconcile everything including the obj files which should have been ignored.

Any ideas?

Since P4V isn't open-source it's not possible to fix bugs in it yourself.

The answer to "how do I get P4V to do this thing the command line does" is generally "write a custom tool and use that instead of the built-in P4V command".
