Hi--
I for one. I have a small office with three people and a fourth seasonally. We
work on the same files throughout the day and depend that they are accurate.
Data corruption from two people editing the same file at the same time (last one
to save wins!) means that our work loses. This is mission critical.
How about you? Is file locking important to you? What is your setting, and why
is it critical to you?
I store my data files on an subversion repository on Amazon S3 using
jungledisk.
Concurrent writes are detected by subversion program in addition to
versioning
all my changes. Locking by openoffice.org itself is not critical for me.
Let's get a list of common uses and help the developers understand how important
(or unimportant) it is to users.
Background: It appears that file locking is turned off by default in all recent
versions of OOo.
These bug reports seem to show that OOo developers have made a conscious
decision to not support file locking:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92686 ; also issues 88476 and
85794. I have posted here for workaround ideas:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=295742#295742
Please add your example of why data corruption is or is not important to you,
and to OOo.
Thanks!
