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

Vieri

What i would try is this. No idea whether it would work.

1.
Include the name of the document as the property  'Title' in the 'Description' 
tab of the properties dialog - File -> Properties. I believe this property 
won't change unless someone deliberately changes it. If this is a problem you 
might be able to find some other way of registering what the document should be 
called.

2.
write a macro that tests whether the name of the current document differs from 
that indicated by the above named "Title" from the properties;

3.
If it's different invoke the saveas option in the macro to "save as" it's 
correct name using the "Title" property and delete the document that the user 
saved;

4.
You could then display a dialog to give the user an explanation of 
what's happened. You could also put a time delay in the macro to act as a 
deterrent;


5.
invoke to the "Document is saved as" event.
