Hi Zhi Bao Yan, I am redirecting the answer to the framework development list. It is better to ask such questions and answer them there, since more people could participate in discussion and benefit from it.
The lock file pattern is ".~lock.<file name>#", it is the same on all platforms. Actually it must be the same on all platforms, for the case that the same file is opened from different machines in a heterogeneous network. Could you please explain in details in which circumstances are you going to ignore the locking? I must confess, such ignoring looks like a hack, at least from the first view. Best regards, Mikhail.
