--- Comment #15 from John L. ten Wolde <[email protected]> --- Okay, after some further review, my claims of long delays were exaggerated. Once LO has fully initialized any additional templates opened via the Template Browser spawn their editable copies fairly quickly. Still, that pop-up is as annoying as... annoying can be, and I'm with Mikeyy on this: can this "functionality" please be removed until a more robust solution for collaborative notification can be found? Thinking further about the actual underlying issue, it appears to me (from my armchair, non-developer point-of-view) as though LO's test that triggers the pop-up in the first place is too vague: as if it's doing nothing more than a simple boolean check on the write permissions of the document being opened. Wouldn't it be better if LO first tested the document's write permissions, and *then* spring the pop-up *only* if it (the document) is both writable and *already* open for editing somewhere in the collaborative ecosystem? There's absolutely no point in testing the open/closed status of strictly READ-ONLY documents because they should be viewable by any number of users simultaneously anyway. Does this make sense, or am I completely misunderstanding the problem? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
