Hi Beatrix,

here it is.

Nothing special, except the fact it exists

Very good, I'll do some testing.

Should the lock file show up for all opened Valentina databases?

Database is open and has version 13:



I made the invisible files visible but there is no lock file in the directory:

It’s only for remote file systems.

Got it. I read the docs so that every macOS database should have the lock file.

There are 2 lock files: one for the database and one for the journal file.

I force-quit my app and then re-run it. I got the expected error message "It wasn't possible to open the archive "Mail Archive" for writing."
