Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 108936
Switch "-nolockcheck" affects lock-files of documents
Last modified: 2016-11-21 10:33:22 UTC
If you open a locked document from another computer via "soffice -nolockcheck" the dialog for locked documents doesn't come, instead the document is opened read-only. On... http://framework.openoffice.org/files/documents/25/806/Command_line_arguments_in_OpenOffice.html ...is described, the parameter -nolockcheck is only for suppressing the check of the installation lock-file. Steps to reproduce: * on PC_1: open document on a file-service with "soffice test.odt" * on PC_2: open the same document with "soffice -nolockcheck test.odt" * the document is opened read-only on PC_2 The current behaviour is especially annoying in connection with external programs (which start OOo with the bootstrap-mechanism), because users don't have the chance to decide how to open a locked document in the first step.
reassigned
Problem occurs with different operating systems under OOo 3.2.1
