          Issue ID: 127421
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Windows Libraries are seen as read-only files
           Product: App Dev
           Version: 4.1.3
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows, all
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)

  Target Milestone: ---

Since Windows 7, Libraries are a feature that gives a consolidated view of
related files in one place. A Library provides a single aggregated view of
multiple folders and their contents.

Windows 7 has 4 default Libraries: Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and a
Public folder. If you use GetAttr on these, it returns 17 instead of 16.

MsgBox GetAttr( ConvertToURL( Environ("PUBLIC") ))
MsgBox GetAttr( ConvertToURL( Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents") ))

Other side effect with MailMerge service.
Unable to save into these folders directly, it occurs a "read-only file" error.

UCB_IsReadOnlyFileName function is used here:
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/blob/trunk/main/sw/source/core/unocore/swunohelper.cxx
I don't know how can I introduce a specific test for Windows Libraries.
C++ Dev team welcome :-)
