Hello,

we've tried "R/O mode changes file attribute" already, but we didn't find it
useful. 

- first of all you would have to manually "Set document as ReadOnly" every time
you open a file to make changes - from my experience spoken: that will never
work (at least in our company it won't!)

- maybe we have some settings done wrong, but the user HIM/HERSELF, who switches
"Set document as ReadOnly" on, can NOT make changes on the file!

The idea we had would be a setting that works this way:

open file NN:
-> file is R/O 
   -> no changes, don't allow to work on file
-> file is not R/O
   -> automatically set R/O attribute on disk, but allow to work

close file NN:
-> file was R/O when opened
   -> no changes
-> file was not R/O when opened
   -> remove R/O attribute and write file

Mistakenly locked files are a minor problem for us.

Sounds not very smart, I know, but that would be a simple but very useful
solution for us - and hopefully easy to implement for you!

Greetings,
Dirk

P.S.
Don't get me wrong: the solution you proposed sounds very good!
