Bug #: 45243
Summary: : Allow writing in a read-only file (Yes, it's
important!)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.4 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description: When you open a read-only file, LibreOffice disables
modifying operations, such as "Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject". That is a
wrong design, I think. For sure, you should disable any functionality to
modify the original file such as "File > Save". But, you often want to open a
read-only file, modify it, and "Save As" a different file. Sometimes, you want
to open a read-only file, accept the changes your co-author made, print the
result out, and quit LibreOffice without saving the accepted changes.
Steps to reproduce:
1. $ lowriter a-read-only-file.doc
2. Edit > Chages > Accept or Rject
3. You find it's disabled.
Platform (if different from the browser): Debian GNU/Linux (testing). i686.
Browser: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.61
