Some time ago I learned that I could toggle the read-only option by issuing

Now I'd like to know if it is possible for LyX to open an old file with this
option set by default.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Do want to be unable to edit the document, or only to be unable to
overwrite the document? If the latter, just open it with File -> New
From Template. You can edit, but if you try to save you'll be forced
to go through a file dialog.
Don't know any way to open read-only (which is not to say it can't be done).
