             Bug #: 47065
           Summary: Advanced Easy Hack: Notification about document
                    closure
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO Master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Libreoffice
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ke...@suse.cz


This is an "Easy" Hack for somebody who likes more advanced hacking ;-)

When you open a document that is already open by a different user, you get a
warning like "Document file '$(ARG1)' is locked for editing by:" (see
STR_OPENLOCKED_MSG in uui/source/openlocked.src).  You have the choice to open
it read-only, or a copy.  In case of opening it read-only, it would be great to
get a notification when the document has been closed by the other person again.

The dialog is effectively created in sfx2/source/doc/docfile.cxx,
SfxMedium::ShowLockedDocumentDialog().  In the case that it is opened
read-only, you should trigger a thread that will wake up every minute, and
check for the presence of the lock file.  If the lock file disappeared, it
should create a notification dialog that the file is not in use any more; if
possible, with an offer a reload of the file.
