[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Hide overwrite button for readonly documents. (PR #3142)

[Guido Falsi]

I have noticed that even when I mark a document "readonly" in the UI (for example via the document menu), when Geany detects a file change, the requester proposes me to overwrite it anyway.

This looks wrong, I mark the file read only because I want to avoid writing to it by mistake.

I often open the same file in two windows and mark it read only in one of those, I find this better than the split window (which I also use sometimes). I happened to overwrite a file by mistake due to a stray click on the overwrite button, so I decided to create this patch.
