    * Lockfiles can be overridden
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120829#c2
    + improve wording
    + suggested "$file is open for editing by $user on system $hostname and was opened at $time"
    makes sense, if possible
    + usual behavior is to open read-only and provide an infobar, that would be nice
    + message needs to be discussed
    + "Opening editable potentially ends up in data loss when more users access the same file."
    + checkbox "[ ] Open editable anyway"
    + buttons [Open] [Cancel] (no "Open read only")
    => boil it for a while
    
    * Unable to set different data paths per component
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59764
    + vote for tools > options > paths per module (Heiko)
    + see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101609 (all modules options access)
    + decided in the past to close as wf because files are stored per project/task/scenario and the path
    depends rather upon this than on Documents/Writer, Documents/Calc etc. (Cor)
    => close as WF (tdf#101609 makes sense but requires a proposal)
    
    * When importing media (eg images) to libreoffice it would be friendly to save some metadata
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119563
    + finalize the list
    + ensure ODF spec (Cor)
    + whether set comes from DCMES (c4) or MWG (c2) doesnt matter
    + less/not too much info is better (Heiko)
    + request to store path (could be done in Source or location created)
    + request for date would override date of creation
    + editable properties could be description, keywords but the rest is static
    => go for it
