It does. In Windows, either the LibreOffice file dialog, or the System file dialog Only issue, is if you Save-as/Export and then *ignore* the "<filename>.pdf already exists. Do you want to replace it?" and attempt to overwrite the locked file open in another app. But that is expected behavior (what would the other app then do?). => WFM & NAB (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1) > and attempt to overwrite the locked file open in another app. But that is expected behavior (what would the other app then do?). What? Are you serious? Sadly, I think you prefer closing an enhancement request rather than admit an improvement needed. Let me ask you this: why does Writer offer to open a locked file as a copy in order to allow editing of read only files, but does not offer to save a locked file under a different name? Dupe of Bug 53530. Please search before reporting. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 53530 *** Since bug 53530 just decreased 3 error dialogs to 1, I reopen this one to extend that dialog with Retry and Save as buttons. *** Bug 130372 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 135358 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
