Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 113122
Files cannot be opened in read-only mode from multiple MAC clients through AFP
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:50:29 UTC
With Open Office version 3.1.1 (OOO310m19), a user can open a file present on a shared drive through AFP in "Read-Write" mode and rest of the users on other MAC clients if tried to open the same file they get a pop-up message specifying that the file is already in use by first user and can be opened in "Read-only" mode. With Open Office version 3.2.1 (OOO320m18) apart from the first user none of the users are able to open the file as they no longer get the option of opening it in "Read-only" mode. Instead, they get the following error: Error during shared access to /Volumes/afpteam/Desktop/Sample-1.odt Expected Result: Apart from first user, other users should be able to open the file in "Read-Only" mode Note: All users have "Read-Write" permission on the files. This issue is seen on all kind of OpenOffice files
I am running Open Office 3.3.0. Same Problems over here. NeoOffice gives read-only access. Why not with OpenOffice?
