The 'P4 Changelist Grabber' provides a quick way to pull one or more changelists from Perforce to a local folder of your choice, pulling the revisions of the files in those changelists (and *only* those files / revisions [if desired]), maintaining the correct directory hierarchy (if desired) from your depot(s). There is a way to accomplish this goal from within the Perforce visual client, P4V, but it requires multiple steps, can only deal with one changelist at a time, and is generally a hassle.
To use it, enter one or more changelist numbers in the 'P4 Changelist Number(s)' box, separating multiple entries with commas. Then, enter a valid Perforce workspace in the 'P4 Workspace' box. Next, hit the 'Browse' button, and pick a local directory to pull the changelist(s) to. Check the 'Delete Existing Content In Destination Directory?' box if you wish to have the destination directory cleared out before the grab begins, the 'Warn Me Before Deleting Files?' box if you want a confirmation before files are deleted, the 'Maintain Original Directory Structure?' box if you want the original directory hierarchy maintained as files are copied to the destination directory (otherwise they'll all be copied directly into the destination directory without any subdirectories), the 'Ignore File Revisions In Changelists (Just Get Latest On All Files)?' box if you want the latest revisions of all files involved in the provided changelists, and click on the 'Grab It!' button.
When you exit the program, your preferences will automatically be saved for the next run.
The 'P4 Changelist Grabber' is made available as FREEWARE. It contains no virii, adware, spyware, back doors, or trojans.
