[Bug 175286] Re: Feature request: save files read-only when invoking external viewers

[Adrian Bridgett]

found this request finding out how to turn this _off_ (on Debian sid).
I can certainly see _why_ you want this, but I would ask that it be made
optional.  You could even make it dependent on location - i.e. /tmp
(read only), /home (read-write).  But then it also depends what you are
doing - a PDF would normally be a read-only operation (and you'd want
the file removed automatically).  An openoffice doc, well, that's harder
to say.   Personally, saving to /tmp and leaving it there is fine (if I
want to keep it I'll move it myself to /home).

Just another PoV :-)
