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?
I store my data files on an subversion repository on Amazon S3 using
jungledisk.
Concurrent writes are detected by subversion program in addition to
versioning
all my changes. Locking by openoffice.org itself is not critical for me.
I forgot to mention that unlike cvs, subversion can handle changes
between two binary files
using binary diff ........ in short odf files are handled much better by
svn than cvs.
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!
