            Bug ID: 144845
           Summary: Pop-up dialog while opening a read-only file
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: lantcoder2 at mail.ru

Description:
Since upgrade LO to version 7.2 I stucked with unpleasant dialogue
"Document is read-only. Open read-only or select Notify... etc"
Three buttons. WHY? I open many hundreds *.odt files, many of these files
protected from accidental deletion with read-only attribute. Okay, click open/
and see another, old information string "This document open read-only", and
button "Edit" on right corner, and a cross to close string. I does not
understand. Why first popup dialogue appears? Information string is not enought
to select action? Is this really necessary? I know, I see that opening
read-only file need to upgrade. But this way is wrong.

What I offer to do. Move buttons of new popup dialogue to information string
appears above document what opened read-only. Instead one button "Edit" - add
new button "Notify". There is a more user-friendly dialogue. We see documents
with one click, and then decide, what we do later: open read-only, notify other
user or open to editing.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make document a read-only with file attribute
2. Open it

Actual Results:
We see a dialogue that unnecessary to open file

Expected Results:
Open a document without these dialogue!


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Another information string while opening a read-only document.
