Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW CC| |LibreOffice@bielefeldundbus | |s.de Summary|: Set LibreOffice as |Option for "Document Viewer |document viewer (read-only |Mode" (read-only mode by |mode by default) |default) required. Version|3.5.4 release |3.3.0 Beta2 Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> --- That has been discussed at several places, some ideas to solve the problem can be found here (for WIN): <http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=33742> Currently there might be not many requests for this feature, but I can imagine applications where such a feature would be useful. Example from my personal experience: Technical documentation for Building Automation in bigger objects (hospitals, administrative buildings...). This kind of systems never become ready, always smaller changes will be done, user finds out how to solve his problems, ... . For these applications I contribute the technical documentation as a system of ODF documents on a net drive. They are all protected with "Open file read-only" to protect the documents from accidental changes. But if the user wants to leave a note, correct a mistake or whatever, he is allowed to do so without any urdles, only trusted persons have access to those net drives. So it might have some advantage simply to install their LibO with an option "always open in read only mode", they really normally only need a document viewer, only from time to time they edit documents. There might be other applications where a PC (tablet, smartphone) normally only is used as a viewer, with feature to do edits if necessary. So I think this is a legitimate feature request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
