I am using Windows 7 - Pro for the OS *The problem I am encountering:* When I composed a document using Libre Writer and then copy the folder to another computer, I loose the rights to be able to re-save the document under the same name on the other computer. In my case this was with an HTML type file.
I found I can save the document under another name, but the original name of the document is locked out even if I was to delete it, and then try to re-save it again. The name is critical for the operation of the file, because there are associated graphics (picture) files that are displayed in this type of documents. * An observation that I found:* After some lengthy investigation, I found an invisible file in that fold with an unusual name. To see this folder I had to make some changes in how Windows Explorer displays files. I had to go in to the properties of Win's Explorer and allow it to display system and hidden files. The unusual file name that was displayed was .~lock.index.html# HTML#File To have the rights to save my document in another computer was to delete the invisible lock file. I looked inside of this unusual type file. Listed was the name of the original computer that I first edited the file, the name of the person who this computer was registered to, and also a bunch of code that is obviously part of the operation of the software reading this file. *Question:* Why is Libre Office set up to lock user rights to files, when the user who is me; never requested (that I know of) to lock the file rights? *Comment:* Overall, I find Libre Office to be excellent. I like the simplicity and logic in how it works. Yes... There are some differences between it and MS Office in the more advanced aspects of it, but overall this is a terrific package.
