Hello, everyone,
I’ve been attempting to disable file saving on my system using Dconf, guided by the instructions found here: Disable file saving.
After implementing the recommended settings, I logged off and back in, then conducted some tests with gedit. Surprisingly, I was still able to save files as if no changes had been made. I’m aware that not every application may adhere to the disable-save-to-disk setting, but I expected that gedit, being a native editor, would comply.
To confirm the setting was applied, I checked the flag with the following command:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-save-to-disk
It returned true, indicating the setting is active.
Here are my questions:
- Am I overlooking something in the setup process?
- Which applications are known to work with this setting? Specifically, are there any native or third-party applications that I should test to verify the functionality of this lockdown feature?
- Is there an alternative method to globally disable file saving on disk that is independent of the application being used?
I appreciate any insights or suggestions you can provide. Thank you in advance for your help.
