is it possible to set openoffice to don't create a lock file?
I hope not.
it's very annoying for me in using libreoffice openoffice.
I hesitate to say so, but this is an excellent example of how not to ask for help. Lock files provide a useful purpose in preventing simultaneous editing in two instances of the program and consequent update races. Since the lock files are hidden files, they generally do their work invisibly and in a trouble-free fashion. Nothing could be so obviously helpful and so obviously *not* annoying!
If you do find the lock files annoying, there must be some reason - and anyone helping you would need to know what this is. Then that different underlying problem might be solved.
o If you find that you cannot open a document file for editing because the lock file still exists, the document or program must have terminated abnormally. If you finish editing sessions by pulling the plug on your computer (and I don't imagine for a minute that you do this, of course), then the solution is simply to learn to use your computer and its software correctly. If the lock file exists because the program crashed, you will want to investigate your computer hardware, your installation of OpenOffice, or perhaps a specific document causing the problem. Once you have corrected any problem, lock files will no longer annoy.
o You will have difficulty if you do not have permission to create or perhaps modify files in the folder containing your documents. But you will want such permissions in any folder in which you need to save edited copies of documents, and the solution is either to obtain those permissions or else to move your documents to folders in which you do have those permissions.
It's just possible, of course, that once you understand the useful service being provided by the lock files, you could find them less annoying.
