But where is this lock information stored and how can I remove
it? I prefer not to have that sort of leftovers in a hidden
database ...
To lock a document file named "letter2mom.odt", Ooo 3 will create a lock
file alongside the document called
.~lock.letter2mom.odt#
That's <period><tilde>lock<period>letter2mom.odt<pound>
The "letter2mom.odt" part will vary, matching the name of the file that
is locked. The rest of the lock file name is constant.
File names beginning with a period are (by convention) not listed on
Unix-like systems, so you may have to do something to make them visible
in your file browser.
You can list them from a command shell with something like
$ ls -a
or
$ ls .~*
You can remove the lock files from your file manager, or using a command
like
$ rm -i .~lock.*#
Do I really need to warn you to be careful doing mass deletions of files
in the same directory as your documents?
I thought not ;-)
