<![CDATA[Write access forbidden]]>Is it possible in notepad++ to set an option that I can´t open the same file with write access.
In microsoft word if I want to open the same file twice I will get an message that the file is already opened.
We have the problem that several persons edit one file with notepad++. I will get an message if an other person has opened the file already.

Please can you help me?

I know that other editors can lock this file during it is in use.
Is that option planned for development?

Currently you cannot know that another person has already opened the file.
It is because the file is kept open for a very short time (only when reading it or writing it) and then it is immediately closed.
