Re: [libreoffice-users] disable "save as" in odt document

Not really, Tom. It may sound crazy to some but it doesn't to me.
It all depends on what you need to achieve.

In my case, we're generating odt docs in a webdav repository and serving them to LO clients.
We want the clients to always save to the same location, same file name. It wouldn't make any sense 
at all to "save as" and would only give us problems.
No problems with backups either or file formats.

So, in short, it's not crazy.

Still, you're not suggesting how to do it for the "save" event. I believe that associating a macro 
to an event doesn't disable that event to be executed but it "adds" the macro function to whatever 
event you're linking to. So I can't really override that event with a macro.

So basically my question is the following (stripping out stuff that might sound crazy):

How do I override an "event" and replace it with a macro.

Simple example (a tad crazy): user clicks "save" toolbar button and macro prints a "hello world" 
message BUT file is not saved. 

Sounds simple... but haven't got the hang of it yet.

Thanks,

Vieri
