We are using staroffice 8 and openoffice 2 since 2006 on about 300 pc in
my school. The users are saving their data on their personal
samba-share.
Now we want to change to OO-3 and have the problem, that no user is able
to save data in his/her home-share. Cause is the new behaviour of open
office, to create a temporary file like .lockFilename.
.Filename-files are forbidden (veto file statement in the smb.conf ) for
this share.
Is there any possibility to change the standard name for the temporary
files (they should not begin with a dot) ?
Is it possible to change the path for the temporary files without
changing the path to the working directory ?
I don't know the answer to this, but I can mention another
disadvantage with the new arrangement.
If I open an OpenOffice document to read it or perhaps to copy
material from it and then close the document without making changes
or saving it, the modification date and time on the file are not
changed. This is correct. But the modification date and time on the
containing folder *are* changed, because two changes have been made
to it - the creation and then deletion of the lock file. The folder
and its contents, though, are just as they were. This is perhaps
unhelpful, and could be avoided if the lock files were saved
somewhere else - perhaps in a common location, as suggested above.
