          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 71005
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: File locking: No warning dialog is shown when started
                    with --nolockcheck
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.6.4.3 release
         Component: Extensions
           Product: LibreOffice

When two users from different computers open the same file, normally the second
user gets a warning "Document is locked for editing by ...". This dialog is not
shown when office is started with parameter --nolockcheck.

On the other hand, a Java application which uses the
com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap class starts Libreoffice with --nolockcheck.
In the end, when a such a Java application runs in the background (like the
WollMux at the city of Munich), and a user opens a document which is locked by
another user, he gets no warning dialog.

I think it's because the CommandLineArgs:InterpretCommandLineParameter method
uses the nolockcheck-parameter as a workaround for automated tests, as the
comment says. But that's not what nolockcheck is said to be used for in the
parameter descriptions, "--nolockcheck  don't check for remote instances using
the installation". So, if it's still neccessary to supress the warning dialog
for automated tests I think it would be a good idea to introduce a new
parameter.

I created this bug for 3.6.4, but I think it's still the same with at least
4.1.3
