Make Scratch Default Project Read Only

[ryanteck]

Not sure if this is Pi_ltsp or an ScratchGPIO (Think GPIO) issue but as it loads a project with remote sensor connections enabled as default we found that kids overwrote this project with their code already inside causing issues when we needed to reboot it and not load the project.

In the home directory the user has permission to change the file.

Storing the rsc.sb file in a system directory such as /opt/scratchGPIO5 (Config files for user applications) and then running

sudo chmod 555 /opt/scratchGPIO5/rsc.sb
sudo chown root:root /opt/scratchGPIO5/rsc.sb

Then causes scratch to go read only and requires the user to save elsewhere.

But I imagine users won't be defaulted to /home/pi/Documents/Scratch Projects?

Which would make ScratchGPIO harder to use especially youngsters :(
