[Bug 97292] Re: Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable
Just to add that this is still present and an annoyance. OO won't even let you apply a sort to the data if it's been opened read- only and I can imagine this would be quite a problem in a corporate situation where a user might only have read access to a document and you don't want them to be creating their own copies. I think it would be more intuitive if the read-only only became an issue when you tried to save the document as with Excel. -- Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The upstream issue was resolved as a duplicate of http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=73155 I don’t know if that should just be replaced in the tracker above or added. I tried adding it, but Launchpad did not seem to like that idea... -- Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 97292] Re: Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable
Using fully updated Ubuntu Feisty—so OOo 2.2.0~rc3~oof680m10-0ubuntu3 at the moment. However, this has been a persistent thing—I just never got around to putting the feature request in like I had meant to long ago, considering that the use case for editing data like that did not come up very often. For example, I just opened something from an NNTP feed that was attached—a Microsoft Word document—by double-clicking it from within Evolution. The file doesn’t seem to show up in the output from “lsof”, but it is read-only. If I wanted to edit it, I would have to re-save it, which is fine. In this case, I don’t want to edit the file. However, when I get my grade sheets in, I like to just use the spreadsheet to calculate percentages so I can see where I stand as of those grade sheets. Instead, I either need to open up bc, gcalctool, or resave the document before I can input new formulas. It is just a minor inconvenience, but the more frequently such a situation occurs, the more of a time-eater it gets to be. :-) Attached is the screen shot of the document as it was opened from Evolution. ** Attachment added: "Read-only OOo document opened directly from e-mail" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7038781/Emailed%20Document.png -- Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable https://launchpad.net/bugs/97292 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 97292] Re: Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable
Thanks for your report. I just attempted e-mailing myself a document and I was able to edit it, then I realized it wasn't read-only but located in tmp. So I created a new file and performed a chmod 444 to make it read only to everyone and opened that file. I can confirm you can't write in it, but at the same time as soon as you go and "save as" to something else, the file then becomes editable. I would imagine this is how it is meant to be. If you could reply with the version of Ubuntu/OpenOffice you are using and if this performs differently then the above, I would appreciate it. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- Feature Request: Read-only document should be editable https://launchpad.net/bugs/97292 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
