File Locking

When a file is opened for editing by a TestLog user a lock file is created to prevent another user from trying to edit the same file at the same time. Once the first user has finished editing the file the lock file is removed and another user is able to begin editing.

The warning dialog that appears when a lock file is detected has the option of removing the lock file. This is provided so in the event that a lock file is not properly removed there is a way to remove it. This should only be used to remove the lock file if you are sure that the file is not currently being edited. If it is being edited and the lock file is removed then it may cause inconsistencies in the data of that file.
