--- Comment #4 from Bruno <[email protected]> ---
Hi Joren

It's a feature of MS Word (specified in the security part of the file) that I
used in the office. One can declare a file as default R/O at open time to
prevent the creation of a ~-file (performance!) and the whole edit-environment
and to prevent accidentally unwanted changes (safety) if you just want to read
a document. I think over 90 percent of opening a doc-file is just for read.
Nevertheless it's possible to open in R/W mode because one gets a prompt if it
has to be opened R/O or R/W.

I hope my explanations are clear enough and I would appreciate if you could
implement such feature also in LibreOffice.

Thanks
Bruno

Comment # 3 on bug 60184 from Jorendc 
Thanks for reporting
@Bruno: I discussed this a little bit on our QA channel; and we can't find any
other workaround for now then setting each file as Read-Only (as Urmas already
mentioned).
Is it possible to provide us more information about the use case (why would you
use an option to open as Read-Only by default?).

Thanks in advance,
Joren
