read-only opening

[andrea.boerio]

Hi.

in the office, on the stations, I activated the multi-user environment options, and I propose to upload the references in read-only, as default.

can you get that even the upload of the open file directly (from file\open) happens by default in read-only, or at least that the read-only option is presented as default, and not as the second opening option to be selected by hand, a little as happens with the possibility of loading light weight? I would prevent a user from modifying a file unless it is really his intention to do so.

I realize that it would be enough to be careful not to confirm the rescue, in case of undesirable changes, and that the first one that opened a file can always set it in read only if another user needs it.. .

usual questions of a paranoid lover of the logic pdm...that one day will be able to buy...:biggrin:

You can do it, but what a mess... when you have to save for "true."
basically attribute the read only to the folder, the contained files will be
readable but not overwritten.
you can attribute the writing/reading rights of individual users.

in the company where I also play the role (my despite) of it, we have
all files shared on the server and every evening I run a bkp on nas, so, in case of wrong unopened rescue, I can recover the file
with date of the day before.
other trick is to enable "number of backup copies" in your options
by swx. (tengo 3 as a limit of copies of rescues).
in this way you have the possibility, with due cautele, to recover also
the single damaged/modified part file.
Before bkp, a batch file deletes me the rescue copies so as not to weigh the database.
we work under domain with controlled access to drawing folders.
