Documents check-in/out

Documents have their own locking system. Locking is done by checking files in and out.
When you want to modify a document of the repository, you must first right-click this document and check it out. A lock will be put on the document, and it will be downloaded on your computer in a directory named : <user_homedir>/goozzee.docs/<database_name>.<database_server>/
Checkout Dialog
The check out dialog offers the possibility to enter a text (maximum 200 characters) describing the reason for the check-out, a check box at the bottom of the dialog proposes to open the document right away (otherwise, the file will only be copied on the local computer). When you have finished your modifications on the document, you must check it in, in order to upload the new version into Goozzee.
Checkin Dialog
The Check-in dialog also offers a text area to enter a description of the modifications that were appended to the file (maximum 200 characters). A checkbox appears at the bottom of the window, that proposes to remove the file from the local computer after the check-in.
Note that, for now, Goozzee doesn't keep any history of the various check-ins / check-outs that happened on a document. Neither does it keep any previous versions of the documents.

Note that you can also release the lock on a checked-out document, without checking it in : right-click on that document, and choose the release lock menu item. This will reset its 'checked out' status.
