Created attachment 80956 [details] error dialog box The error dialog box that appears when you try to open a document as read only on an already opened document
This also prevents MS Office users from opening documents in read only if a LibreOffice user has the document already open. MS Office 2007 on Windows 7 64bit
I have the same problem but with different configuration. The file server : Windows 2008 R2 Samba 2 LibreOffice 4.0.4 Document types: writes, impress, calc MS Office 2003 Some scenarios : Scenario 1 : 2 user with Ubuntu 12.04.2 user A open the LO file on the server, he's fine. user B open the LO file on the server, a dialog box ask to open as read only or to copy the file, a second dialog box explain the file is corrupted. Scenario 2 : 2 user with Ubuntu 12.04.2 user A open the MS file on the server, he's fine. user B open the MS file on the server, a dialog box ask to open as read only or to copy the file, a second dialog box explain the file is corrupted. Scenario 3 : user A with Windows XP sp3 user B with Ubuntu 12.04.2 user A open the MS file on the server, he's fine. user B open the MS file on the server, a dialog box ask to open as read only or to copy the file, a second dialog box explain the file is corrupted. Scenario 4 : user A with Ubuntu 12.04.2 user B with Windows XP sp3 user A open the MS file on the server, he's fine. user B open the MS file on the server, the file is empty.
I can also confirm behavior (general i/o error) on comment 0 with similar scenarios using simple sharing (no server) with Samba 3.5.14. PC-A: Win XP with OOO 3.3.0 PC-B: PCLinuxOS KDE 32bit with LO 4.0.4.2 File to test: .doc Scenarios: - PC-B opens file in PC-A. PC-A will fails to open same file - PC-A opens file in PC-A. PC-B will fails to open same file - PC-B opens file in PC-B. PC-A will fails to open same file But this scenario works: PC-A opens file in PC-B. Then PC-B can opens same file as read only. Note: That's not happen (file can be opened as read only) if 2 PCs using same OS (PCLinuxOS KDE 32bit) & same LO version (4.0.4.2).
