Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer: Cannot access files I just created!??

Hello Hylton,

You could execute the following to find any lock files on a Mac:

- First make sure LibreOffice is not running (no dot in your menu bar). 
if there is a dot, right click and select "quit"

- Open a terminal session

You could run the following commands to find lockfiles:
cd /
find . -type f -name '.~lock*' 2>&-

the output should show the LO lockfiles if any. The files are in a format .~lock.<filename>.ods.

Once you verified the filenames you can delete them by executing:
find . -type f -name '.~lock*' 2>&- | xargs -I % rm -v %


Hope this helps,

Rob
