Issue ID: 126772
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: MSOffice doc file in DropBox opens as read-only. Must
rename to save.
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.2
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: editing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I have a windows 7 machine at work, and use DropBox to share the password
protected MSWORD .DOC file with my home PC Windows 7.
Initially this works, allowing the home PC to open/save with OpenOffice
"Writer" 4.1.2.
But something changes after a few days of use, and then the file then always
opens as read-only.
I never use read-only options.
I am the only user.
The file on the other laptop is closed. I can verify in real time with Remote
Desktop.
I can not locate a lock file on either machine.
Where are these located for windows 7 ?
There seems to be many other users in the forum that have the same problem.
No solution, except to click edit, and save the file with a different name.
Recently updated to 4.1.2 afterwhich the problem went away for a few days.
Thought it was fixed as a bug, but is back again.
I had the same problem with the previous version # ?
I can rename the file, and the problem goes away for a short time but will
return.
