LR4 ignores .lock file


hi,

 

i using lightroom on desktop macpro @ home , on macbook while on go (or on coach). in order not lose edits every time switch computer, i've setup lightroom catalog files on dropbox. works flawlessly , i'm happy except 1 little problem:

 

when stop working lr4 need quit application in order new version of catalog uploaded dropbox. thats fine, forget , close macbook without quitting lr. when start working next time on other computer there risk start same catalog open. lr has created .lock file should prevent me doing that. however, unpleasant surprise, seems ignores .lock file. opens .lrcat file , can work , save it. when save open file other computer later, dropbox creates "conflicting copy".

 

all no disaster able rely on protection mechanism provided .lock file, supposedly intended work. question is:

 

how possible lr4 ignores .lock file , how can make lr4 refuse open .lrcat file when .lock file present? or @ least give warning ? 

 

thanks ideas, jules

when macbook "closed" have checked see if .lock file still present next catalog file in "dropbox"?
