Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: read-only problem
Hi :) I think a few of us have found that files do become read-only without us being really clear exactly why. We just work-around it rather than hunt down specific causes and those work-arounds often result in creating a back-up of the file so it's a bonus rather than a problem. I hadn't realised it might be worth posting a bug-report but maybe now might encourage people to do so if they encounter the problem in the future.

And feel free to put me on CC. (I'd once tinkered with the relevant code, to allow to toggle edit mode even for physically read-only documents, so thought this thread might be about a regression that may have caused.)

I wonder, does it rise to a bug that saving and marking read-only causes this lockup? - edo1 I have been using the save as new name for many years. I have done this with LO, OOo, and earlier word processors, since the early days of Windows PCs. As for a bug, I do not know what you are stating the bug would be. It is not clear to me this morning. If you are saying that trying to edit a read-only file, or use the standard Save option freezes or locks up LO, then this might be a bug. To be honest, I tend to open documents that are attached to an email, directly into LO. Unless I save the file before opening it, I cannot edit it. That includes doing the Save As option. I tend to open these documents, from trusted people I deal with on a weekly or monthly basis, before I save them outside of the temporary folders the system stores them in. That way, I can decide if I want to save them or not. A good third of these documents I do not need, so they are not saved. So, the use of Save As with read-only files, created as read-only in various ways and reasons, is something that is a part of my office suite activities since the early 90's. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
