: Checkout & Download - Why Read Only?
: Pet March 07, 2010, 04:09:03 AM

I find it very irritating that when downloading a document, it is downloaded in read only mode. This is irritating because of 3 things:

1. with a bunch of edits, over time I end up with a bunch of useless documents in my temp folder.
2. It is an extra step to save the file as a different name, remember that name, then upload the correct file.
3. There is no point in making it read only because if Feng is my document repository, all I need to do is re-download the version I need. I don't need all these read-only working copies on my system.

Is there any good reason whatsoever that they are in read only mode? I seriously cannot think of any reasonable reasons.

I agree...

OK, it looks like this is a browser issue, see this Firefox forum:

I don't like the behavior, but it's not a FO issue.
