Hi-- I for one. I have a small office with three people and a fourth seasonally. We work on the same files throughout the day and depend that they are accurate. Data corruption from two people editing the same file at the same time (last one to save wins!) means that our work loses. This is mission critical.
How about you? Is file locking important to you? What is your setting, and why is it critical to you? Let's get a list of common uses and help the developers understand how important (or unimportant) it is to users. Background: It appears that file locking is turned off by default in all recent versions of OOo. These bug reports seem to show that OOo developers have made a conscious decision to not support file locking: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92686 ; also issues 88476 and 85794. I have posted here for workaround ideas: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=295742#295742 Please add your example of why data corruption is or is not important to you, and to OOo. Thanks! :- Doug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
