          Issue ID: 126757
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Warning on file save when modification time changed
           Product: General
           Version: 4.1.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: ui
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When a document is opened in OpenOffice and an external event (for example
"touch mydoc.odt") happens, the next save from OpenOffice leads to the
following dialog / message: "The file has been changed since it was opened for
editing in OpenOffice. Saving your version of the document will overwrite
changes made by others. Do you want to save anyway?"

So, instead of checking the modification time, wouldn't it be a better idea to
look at a checksum of the file instead, and only warn if the file *actually*
changed?
