Research direction

The issue provides no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the described P4V Custom Tool settings and p4vfs sync behavior; done would require a decided, reproducible integration workflow that explains output visibility, completion detection, and folder selection.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In P4V I can add it as a Custom tool, but if I select Run tool in terminal window, I can see the error logs, but no way to know when it's finished. If I also check Close window upon completion, then I kinda get a clue when it's finished (the window disappears), but then I can't read any errors.

If I don't select Run tool in terminal window, then the output is not visible anywhere, so that's not great either.

Also when using this as a P4V Custom Tool, I couldn't find a way to select just some folders and run p4vfs sync on those. It only shows up in the context menu when I select the workspace root folder. If I add %f or %F to the command line args ( those the only two that are using workspace syntax), then it doesn't show up in the context menu of any folders.

I'd be interested to learn how others integrated this to their workflow.
