Files - simple version control system
I suggest the document / file control. The case is if there are 2 peoples download the file and upload the new version ( their new version ) at the same time, it cant be defined which one is the latest.
So i Want the document can be locked. When someone A doing the document he must lock it first so someone B cannot download it or open it using your document editor app. Someone B can download the file after someone A finish his new version and unlock the file to be downloaded by someone B
Good job guys.. i think i find best project management software in Freedcamp

Hi Ian,
Thanks for posting.
Probably it should work this way. If you use FileEditor a file will be marked as locked by you. Other people using FileEditor will get a notice that file is edited by you and it is up to them to cancel or continue editing. Notice will state that their changes to a file can be overwritten by your edits later on.
If you do not use file edit and download a file – it will be a drop down button with two options:
- download
- download and lock
In this case other person uploading a new version or also trying to download will get a similar notice.
Users uploading back directly or via FileEdit if a file was changed after they locked it will get a notice saying ‘File was changed – please consider uploading it as a new version as otherwise you will overwrite previous editor changes’.
Cheers,
Igor
