[Qgis-user] Problem with QGIS 2.14.1 and MapInfo 12.0.3 coexistence and sharing the same data

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Most likely, this will baffle MapInfo and result in unpredictable behaviour.
Also, the ticket referred to claims that QGIS ignores read-only locks on files.
Which in itself is a rather surprising bit of information if true.
