MerceanCoconut Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Is it a good idea to add typical lock files to the ignore list? Are there any downsides?As far as I can tell if someone else is editing a file and the lock file gets synced to my machine. It looks like I created the lock file, so in the case of Word it wouldn't stop me from opening and editing that file anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdebath Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Word doesn't see it as a valid lock file; to be valid there has to be a process on your machine or across a supported (by Microsoft) network protocol holding the file open. It would be reasonable to exclude it because it's 'clutter', nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerceanCoconut Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 That was my thinking as well. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
