Hello,
I planned to you use the multi-user features of MS Office XP and 2003.
So, when a document is being edited by a user, other users trying to edit the same document have the option to edit the file locally, and merge it later with the shared document.
Although this feature works fine on a simple shared directory, it doesn't function properly from an Alfresco webdav folder.
Here is the scenario (in a webdav folder) :
- user1 opens a document and edits it
- user2 opens the same document
- user2 chooses the option"Create a local copy and merge your changes later", and edits it
- user1 saves the document
- when clicking on the save button, user2 selects the option to merge its changes
- changes of user2 are correctly highlighted, but changes of user1 are lost !
- user2 cannot save the merged document (document incorrectly stays in read-only)
I did exeprience this bug with this config :
- Windows XP SP2
- Alfresco-1.4.ODF-Build54
- user1 and user2 have Office XP SP3 and Office 2003 SP2
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Denis
