No, it doesn't. It just lets you remove one of the file's names (it often has only one). If a running process has a file opened, that file is not deleted, and will be automatically deleted when the process closes it (if it has no name anymore). Now, if a process tries to open a file under a particular name and crashes if it doesn't find it, then yes, it "lets you delete a file causing a crash", but by the same account so does Windows: if the file is not opened in any program, Windows will let you delete it, causing a crash when the process tries to open it, but does not find it. Anyway, I don't think that the system can successfully keep the user from doing anything that leads to an application crash, while allowing the user to do useful stuff, and be in control of his/her machine. -- Lionel _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
