How to prevent files from being checked out to the default changelist in perforce?

Question

Is there a way to revert the setting in Perforce Visual Client (Mac OSX 10.6.8) so that the checked out files are not by default checked out in the 'default' changelist ? I am failing to find any option in the preferences pane.

Answer 1

It's in Preferences -> Behavior, "Prompt for changelist when checking out, adding, or deleting files"

Answer 2

The suggestion that Mike O'Connor gave me was great, but it didn't work for me.

I solved the problem in this way. I hope it helps.

In the Visual Studio menu bar, right-click and open the context menu. Then, check the Helix Connection option. You should see something like this.

and just change changelist Default to <Prompt for changelist>
