Yes, exactly. It might be a good idea to change it also in CollectionLocation so that Collection::writableType() remains just a convenience shortcut.

This has the effect that if an UMS-collection is actually non-writeable the copy/move operations will be missing from the TreeView/Filebrowser context menus. There is no clue to the user what is going on.
