Hi Rick and Fred,
Thank you! I will do that. I never had to mess w/ this setting before, so I
vaguely remembered something about it, but wasn't sure if my memory served
me correctly. Nope, although I am on our home network, I am the only
writer,
so I will go clear this option now.
Thank you again!
TVB

Unless you are routinely storing your files on a shared drive where other
FrameMaker users will be accessing them, I strongly recommend turning off
the "Network file locking" option in the user preferences. If you are the
only writer, or if all writers keep their working files on their local
drive
(which is generally advised to avoid problems caused by potentially slow
file access over your network), there is no benefit to enabling the locking
feature. FrameMaker's locking feature is an ancient implementation that
uses
the most primitive mechanism, and it truly has outlived its usefulness.

Subject: [Framers] An annoying FM 12 "feature"
Hi All,
OK, I have tested this one for several applications that you use .temp or
the equivalent of .lck files and in Frame 12 after I save and close a file
or a book, the .lck file is not always being cleared. I noticed this early
on in FM 12 but I guess because I am using FM 12 now exclusively, it has
become more apparent to me. Of course, when I attempt to open a file or
book
that I have saved and closed, I don’t expect to receive that annoying
“Locked file” message that requires the extra step of unlocking the
file/book before use.
Case in point – I just updated a book, generated the PDF and because I was
satisfied with the PDF, I saved all the files in the book, closed all files
in the book, and then when I went to close the book, I got an expected
message about saving changes to the book (based on what I had done to the
book) and I clicked Yes. The book closed.
I just went back to open the book, and from File > Open, and then selecting
the book, I get the message that the book is locked, yada, yada, yada. I
opened the book’s directory in Windows Explorer, and voilá, not only was
there a lock file for the book but also for all the individual FM files
even
though I had saved and closed them first.
This is driving me nuts.
I opened some Office docs., like for example a Windows doc, then opened a
second session of the same doc., and got the expected .temp files and
read-only messages, but when I closed and saved the files, the .temp files
were gone from my directory. I tested other file types as well like this
and
FM is the ONLY application that is giving me this persistency issue.
Anyone else seen this problem with FM12? I am running Win 10, all updated,
64-bit system.
Thanks!
