Collaborative figures #322

Open joshmoore opened 5 years ago

joshmoore commented 5 years ago

To prevent the duplication & proliferation of figures (with the same name, etc), users should be able to access, edit, and save figures without making a copy.

For interested users: please note that this is a significantly large feature that this is unlikely to happen quickly. Feel free to add a :thumbsup: or similar to show your support.

Potential implementations (roughly from easiest to hardest):

What about adding a 'common user' that multiple users could login to and collaborate on a group of shared images/figures? Is this possible in OMERO? Are there any issues? Thanks, j

Hi @jstitlow. It's possible to share a password, but two users even as the same OMERO user wouldn't be able to edit the same file at the same time.

I'm guessing such thing only makes sense if the figure is in a read-write group, correct?

will-moore commented 5 years ago

Even file locking can be painful - I remember on plone (I think) where you had to ask other user if they could remove their lock each time. Google docs-style would be fantastic, but we'd need push notifications from Django (web sockets)? and a LOT of other changes.

I'd think so, @carandraug. Otherwise it would need to be copy-on-write which raises the issues brought up on the forums.

Definitely. All a question of trade-offs.
