[opencms-dev] Have found a problem with direct edit

[entery]

Hi to all,

we have a problem with the direct edit function for xml-content.
If 2 users click at the same time on the "green plus" for a new source 
creating, the editor creates for both the same file starting with ~. If 
someone saves, both get anytime the same failure, that the other user 
holds the lock. For instance, nobody has really the lock.
Closing the editor and one steal the lock, mostly shown, the own user 
account holds it, save the tempfile and begins writing content. the 
other creates after saving a new file, e.g. through pushing again the 
button for new source over direct edit.

I know, the form sends the request, that the collector should search for 
  all known files of the specified content type in a specified 
directory. Then a new one is created. But named with ~, for first 
declaring it to a tempfile.

Perhaps, this problem could be solved through synchronising the threads 
or perhaps by regarding the tempfiles also during creating, or declaring 
and choosing the name by the saving step (as last step of creating).
Now to concurrent working user disturb each other and unpractised users 
would capitulate after writing the whole file and on saving everything 
is lost, all work was useless.

Thanks a lot for help or conclusions.
Best regards,
Andreas.
