I am the only user on the system. When I view a file, a dot file (like .~lock.file.doc#) is created. How can I override (stop) this in LibreOffice?

I think this is causing confusion on the list. Often a program will create a lock file to prevent other users from modifying a file while someone is editing the file. This is a fairly common procedure and in some programs can be over ridden. A "dot" file can also refer to the MSO XP Word template with *.dot extension. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Andreas Säger <ville...@t-online.de> > To: users@global.libreoffice.org > Cc: > Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 8:41 PM > Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: not create a dot file in same folder as > document when opening it for viewing >>> Am 11.09.2012 18:01, Enda Noname wrote: >>>> Can Libreoffice not create a dot file in same folder as document when >>>> opening it for viewing? >>>> .~lock.file.doc# > Is it really that difficult to tell us exactly about the situation?
