> When running inside a web browser, the file sandbox is preventing access to all files outside the "Etoys" working directory (a.k.a. "untrusted user directory"). That means we cannot open help guides or switch languages or access examples or the sources file etc.
> Proposed solution: In the SecurityPlugin, allow read-only file access to everything in the image directory (in addition to read-write access to the "untrusted user directory"). This means fixing every platform's VM.
