Hello OpenOffice Users
I was editing an .ods file when the computer suddenly crashed.
After it rebooted, the file could not be recovered.
Thereafter, not only that file but ALL my OpenOffice files are LOCKED from
my use.
ALL your OpenOffice files are only locked when you had them ALL open
when your system crashed. Lock files
are zero bite files if you we're working on file Untitled 1.odt the
there will be a lock file named .~lock.Untitled 1.odt#
Deleting the lock file is the solution. However I doubt about the ALL
statement could you check the timestamps
of the lock files to see if they are all from the time your system crashed?
I can only open Read-Only versions or Copies.
I cannot even save these files back to the Directory.
It seems the Whole Directory is Locked from my use.
OpenOffice never lock a whole directory only files you are working on.
If the directory has only OpenOffice files it could give you the false
impression that the whole directory is locked.
However, all other Non-OpenOffice files work normally in the same directory.
The other files are not locked because you had them open when your
system crashed.
What is happening? But, MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW Can this Be Sorted?
You can sort the issue by deleting the lock files.
This is the MOST SERIOUS ERROR I have ever experienced with OpenOffice for
it Bars me from using OpenOffice on this computer, which is my Main Desktop
PC.
Blame your PC not OpenOffice.
Anyone who can Help will be Greatly Appreciated.
I hope that this advice is of any help.
