------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 30 13:20:22 -0800 2006 ------- Sorry for the rant, but I'm really sad about how this issue was handled. In http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=29425 one requests an extremely rarely used feature to be set as default. (I have never used or needed file locking, I know nobody who has ever needed or used file locking) The next comment is "fixed" and SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING is set per default. I also ran into the NFS-problem and found this and numerous other issues about this exact problem. The really sad part of the story is that despite of many, many duplicate bugreports, despite many users having this problem and despite the votes for this issue, nobody just said "fixed" and unset SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING, instead a feature that is needed by almost nobody (the case that several people work on the same file at the same time is extremely rare) and is only needed by experts (those rare multiuser environments are usually run by administrators, who will have not any problems setting SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING, it is their job) is causing grief and trouble to many users. NFS is already fragile and problematic as it is. The line "This is a first step on the way to get rid of this variable completely" in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=29425 actually gave me shivers. Please consider removing SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING again in the default settings, it just is not worth the trouble and in the rare cases in which it is needed, can be set by the administrator (which is a necessity in any serious multiuser environment) Thanks for listening --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
