Digikam allows me to edit EXIF & IPTC tags even though the target image is read-only. In fact I can attempt to do a number of modifications via the Image submenu on read-only images.

When metadata edits are made to read-only images within the date folders they will seem to 'disappear' from them for some reason although they just 'flash' in the regular albums.

Digikam needs to either disable the edit-related menu choices (preferred) or display an error message after the fact telling the user why the changes can't be saved.
