Bug ID: 98655
Summary: Checkout behaviour for remotely opened (CMIS -
Alfresco) document is incorrect
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.1.2 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
While a "presentation behaviour", i.e. not checked-out document is remotely
opened, then checked-out in LO and after editing checked-in or cancelled works
OK, in many other cases works incorrect.
e.g.
Open already checked-out document (user has no flag, that the document is
locked), doc. is opened in read-only mode (problematic - better is open working
copy and best is inform user about checked-out status and enable him to switch
to working copy) but user is offered to switch into editing mode, what is
incorrect. The document (locked, i.e. read-only on server) is then opened
remotely (no local copy - but even if it would be a local copy, user should be
informed) in editing mode, so user is able to make changes and save button is
enabled but ignored. In menu save option is disabled but Check-in option is
enabled, but using it leads to error. "Cancel Checkout" is enabled as well but
using it leads to error message followed by confirmation message and after
confirmation the document is again switched to read-only mode but without any
checked-out cancellation was done.
A specific case is crash recovery, which could lead to quite strange (from user
point of view) behaviour.
With thinking out about the user-logic, please take into account, that it is
absolutely not necessary, that working copy is in the same folder and/or the
current user has access rights to edit or even read the working copy.
That is why I think, the logic should be revised. With Alfresco logic, testing
and user logic I can help, with LO programming not.
