I'm not sure if this is a bug or desired behaviour, but I thought I would only be sure by asking.
If I open a Keepass database through a shortcut with the -readonly switch, it will open in read-only mode alright.
But, if the application locks for whatever reason (manual lock, or automatic lock after X minutes of inactivity workstation lock, when you re-open it, it will be in read-write mode.
It is quite disturbing for the use we make of it at work.
For now I have prompted my users to disable the automatic lock options, but it's a step back from the security point of view.
Thanks in advance for your answer :)
Regards.
