Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.6 Calc Problem / ~lock

Hi :)

Usually it all works very smoothly and it's kinda nice to see the lock-file appear and vanish as if 
by magic.  Definitely a feature and NOT a bug, except when something else throws a spanner in the 
works

Hi.
I think that ~lock is used to control access to the document you have 
open. To stop another user from changing it unless you have enabled 
multiple user access for simultaneous editing.

Usually it goes when you close the document, sometimes they stay after 
closing LO and I delete them.
