Re: How to prevent Gnumeric from overwriting the same file by different gnumeric instances

[Morten Welinder <mortenw gnome org>]

There currently isn't although there was some discussion about it a
long while ago,
see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334024

I guess at least we ought to check if the file system time stamp has
changed since we loaded
the file.  That would catch the vast majority of the problems.
