[suggestion] You need to segragate read-only vs. writeable directories, and make the installed structure unix-like about viewtouch HOT 2 OPEN

I must point out that I'm not a programmer and have no training in how to design software. The design error you are pointing out (and perhaps can fix) can be explained by the fact that none of the software engineers whom I ever employed and were involved in writing ViewTouch code seem to have been aware of what you are bringing to our attention. Software, as you know, is never done, and there are always improvements, extensions or fixes of breakage which cry out for attention. Nothing would make me happier (well, almost nothing) than to have you contribute this improvement/fix for everyone's benefit, so I can only thank you in advance if you would offer a bit of your time and your knowledge of this situation to remedy it. One other thing I would ask, is that you keep in mind I am kind of the manager here since day one and I really need to understand in plain English what changes are being made so I can ensure the wiki and other documentation provides a completely adequate explanation of what and why something is being done here. I trust this all sits fine with you, Yuri, and please let me know anything I myself should do here that I am able to do.

Yurivict; you made an excellent suggestion to us in May, 2019 which I am at long last preparing to implement, with the help of a couple of others - segregating read-only vs. writeable directories. If you would like to offer any more details as to what we need to do to make this happen then I would certainly appreciate this. I do think this and your other suggestion, also from May 2019, are both excellent and it is my regret that I didn't sooner integrate them both as enhancements until now.
