Re: [libreoffice-users] PDF export checking whether the file is locked (opened) by another program before starting exporting over it

Hi Everyone,

I see that an exact issue already exists since 08/2012!!!
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53530

I think it could be a user time saving big fix and it could be a very 
appreciated update/fix in professional job/activities too.
I also currently don't know if the same behaviour happen on other 
environment like linux and/or MacOS X.

I think the pdf file state could be test other than the mere existence, 
couldn't it?

Have a nice Sunday,

Carlo
