add read only file function

[Andrés Chandía]

Hi there, almost a year ago I suggested the same I'm suggesting now, and I think is important not only for us but for other institutions too, Surely the schedules are made by a team in many of the places that use fet, this is why I think it is important...

Once, Liviu had implemented for the University I work at, the locking of the file in use in a way that always that the file is opened by a user a second user (at a network) can open it also but only in "read only" mode, so the file can not be modified while another user is editing it, as from that time fet has released so many versions with many improvements that we would like to have, I ask if it's possible to add this feature to the official FET release.

Thanks again.

Hello,

The feature you are suggesting is trickier than it seems, that is why I am reluctant to add it to the official version. It might result in nasty bugs in the official version of FET.

It is TODO item #121.

I am thinking of this feature. It is indeed risky, but maybe it would be useful to some users?
