I first tried the obvious case: - Open a file in a first RG instance - Try to open the same file from an other RG instance => Can't open the file in the new instance: a popup with a "could not lock file" message is displayed. - Close the file in the first RG instance - Try again to open the file in the second instance => file is normally opened. - Kill the second instance (Ctrl-C) - Try to open the file in the first instance => Can't open the file, the popup is displayed. - rm the lock file (whose name is given in the popup) - Try again to open the file in the first instance => file is normally opened. - Create a new RG instance - Try to open the same file from this new instance => Can't open the file, the popup is displayed. Then I tried a less obvious case: - Create a new composition in RG and save it in a file. Keep RG open. - Create again a new composition in another RG instance - Try to save the last composition in the same file as fhe first one. => Can't save the file, the popup is displayed. - Try again the same save operation => no more popup. There is now two RG instances able to write alternatively in the same file. So, except this last problem, it works fine here. There is a small issue (repeatedly occurring with RG) about UTF8 garbage in the displayed lock file name when the .rg file uses non ASCII characters (I did the first test with a file name containing a diacritic). An other (very) small problem is the "Could not lock file" message which may be unclear for some users. An improvment should be to add in the popup a first sentence explaining that two different RG instances try to access the same file.
