Hi,
Please DO NOT LOCK a file when a user just loads a file.
Mikhail,
I do not want to bother you, but, ...
Please, please, make "productive office suite" more PRODUCTIVE.
Another scenario, "Locked out by a reviewer"
1. User A has created an Impress document for a meeting held this afternoon.
2. User A sends an e-mail to her college User B to ask reviewing it.
3. User B opens the document file stored in their file server.
4. Lunch time has come and User B goes to the restaurant.
5. User A has found some errors in the document.
6. User A tries to load the document, but gets warned
"The file is locked by the User B."
7. User A calls the User B, but hears a message from B's answering machine.
8. The meeting is arranged at 1:00pm. It is 12:30 now.
9. User A tries to call User C to ask to close User B's document.
10. User C, however, is also at the restaurant with B.
11. User A runs to User B's booth located in another building.
12. ....
I know, they are not so stupid.
But this type of scenario could be seen here and there since office suite
software products are widely used by from children to elderly people.
The similar situation could be also observed in an elementary school, etc.
Regards,
Tora
