Thank you, Steve, for your response.

I agree that it's sufficient. But, I see two remaining inconsistencies:
1) Open a read-only file, hit the "Edit Document" button
above the document pane, add some text, and look at the "File" menu.
The "Save" item is still disabled.
2) Then, change the permission of the original file on the disk,
go to the "Save As" menu, and try to overwrite the original.
LibreOffice gives you an error
Error saving the document tmp:
Object not accessible.
The object cannot be accessed
due to insufficient user rights.
Again, this is not a contrived workflow. I sometimes
do open a read-only file with the intention of overwriting it
and without realizing that it's read-only. In that case,
I change the permission of the original file to read-write
on the disk. A normal editing application allows overwriting
the original. It's only LibreOffice which doesn't allow it,
as far as I know.
So, it may be a good idea to warn the user that the file
is read-only when opening it. But, that should be the ONLY
difference visible to the user (except when trying to overwrite
it), in my opinion.
Should I submit this request separately?
Regards,
Ryo
P.S. I'm using LibreOffice 4.4.2002 on Mac OS X 10.10.2 .
