Application editing locks

To prevent multiple developers from trying to edit an application, WindowMaker locks an application during the edit session. If you try to open a locked application, an error message is shown. The name of the node editing the application is included in the message.

If WindowMaker is abnormally shut down with an application loaded, the appedit.lok file may not be deleted. You can manually remove the lock by deleting the appedit.lok file from the application directory.
