Hello, We're using OOo for one of our products (Fabasoft Folio). Folio is a document management system where documents of different types can be stored. When editing a document, the document is copied to a temporary directory and the appropriate application is started. If the document is closed, the file is transfered back from the temporary directory to the document store. In order to find out whether a document is still in use, our application checks the file lock.
If an Excel file opened with OOo is saved, the file lock seems to be removed during the save/conversion operation (this can take a long time – depending on the file size). After the file has been saved the lock is re-established. Unfortunately the intermediate removal of the file lock can trigger our application too soon. Does anybody know why the file lock is released during the saving procedure? Is this a bug or intended (necessary) behaviour? Any ideas how we can overcome/workaround this problem? I've been told that OOo 3.0 creates special lock-files for opened documents. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be done for MS Office documents. Why? Thanks in advance!
