[Bug 50669] Re: Evolution opens MicroSoft Office .doc files read only
Thanks for your bug. That's a feature of evolution, files are opened to a temporary directory and without it people were modifing them and saving changes to the temporary directory and having difficulties to find it again then. With the read-only mode you have to save it to a known location and then you can modify it. Closing since that's not a bug but a feature ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected -- Evolution opens MicroSoft Office .doc files read only https://launchpad.net/bugs/50669 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

better suggestions are welcome and upstream is probably the right place to discuss about that we only package the software and try to fix issues to the packages we distribute -- Evolution opens MicroSoft Office .doc files read only https://launchpad.net/bugs/50669 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

You are right, these files will be opened read only. BUT: There is a symbol in the menu and if you click on it a copy of the file will be created and you can edit the copy. Or you save the file. I hope this can help you. I have tested this with AbiWord and with AbiWord you can edit the file. -- Evolution opens MicroSoft Office .doc files read only https://launchpad.net/bugs/50669 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
