Description Christopher Potter 2013-12-19 16:12:14 UTC

When opening a document in CMIS, LO does not lock the file on the CMIS server or open the file in read-only mode. 

This is very dangerous because another user can open simultaneously the same file and overwrite the ongoing changes.

Therefore 2 options to resolve this when a document is opened in CMIS:

- the file is in read-only mode unless the user 'Extract' the document (BTW 'Extracts' should be replaced by a more user friendly term, ie 'Lock for Editing')

OR

- set a CMIS lock on the server

Not a critical bug - critical bugs are saved for bugs that create data loss, crashes, etc . . . while there is a potential for multiple users to be working on same file which could result in bad things it's not a critical bug in of itself.

Also is this a new problem or was it in older versions of LibreOffice as well?

Nb: This bug could lead to data loss because a user can overwrite another user work

This bug was present in previous versions
