Excel files do not lock

Geoffw

If a file is access through two different instances of BC the file is not correctly locked and 2 users can open the file without getting any warning.
This can happen when the encrypted folder is on a network drive and the file accessed from 2 pcs or if 2 users on the same pc each have the encrypted folder mapped with different a different Drive letter and the pc is switched from one user to another with the first closing excel or logging out.
Not I have only tested this on windows 8.

Is there any progress on this problem.
Will it be fixed in the current version.
I am not sure I want to upgrade to version 2 as I like the compatibility with EncFS.

Hi Geoff,

We don't have an update on this issue at the moment. When we fix it, we will of course also fix it in the 1.x versions.

Best,

Is there a target date for this fix? It also affects Word documents.
