Description Szasz-Fabian Jozsef 2019-03-05 09:23:54 UTC
Description:
I want to disable file locking forever. This feature has onlz annozances, and has no benefits at all.
- When working with files on cloud, the lock files are spamming the directory.
- When disconnecting from the drive (cloud, network, etc.) the lock file remains and prevents other users to open the document.
- The edited and then saved file cannot be renamed, moved, etc. Other software has no problems at all with this.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit a file
2. Save the file
3. Go to exporer and try to rename, move

Actual Results:
The file is locked

Expected Results:
Don't lock the file. Let the user do whatever wants with the file. Like other applications (Photoshop, etc.)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
