Description Jeff D. Hanson 2021-12-01 02:39:11 UTC 
Description:
Basis:

1. The read-only dialog warning is redundant with the info bar warning.

2. The user experience would be better if the writeability notification was integrated with the infobar and always active (with optional disablement in the config).

3. The dialog is annoying when the file is under control of a VCS or document management system and the user is already aware of the file status when opening it.  When browsing through a bunch of such files it guarantees doubling the number of mouse clicks for access.


It may make sense to combine the read-only infobar with real-time collaboration or CMIS status updates.  While not directly related to the read-only dialog file locking and writeability are the primary contentions in these situations.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open read-only file
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Read-only/notification dialog displayed followed by read-only infobar shown

Expected Results:
Option available to skip the the read-only/notification dialog


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
v7.2.3.2 (not in version list)
