Compressing a file located in a directory with write permissions

SUMMARY
By right-clicking files in Dolphin, there is an option "Compress" to create
TAR/7z/ZIP/etc. archives.
If the files are set with r-- (4) or r-x (5) permissions, the "Compress" option
is greyed out. Otherwise, the option is available even if the directory in
which the files are located is set as read-only. In other words, the "Compress"
option can be chosen even when the user has no permission to write to the
directory.
Dolphin claims that the compression is finished although the archive is not
created.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find a read-only directory (or chmod 500 to remove write permissions).
2. Open the directory using Dolphin.
3. Right-click on a file or subdirectory.
4. Choose an option under "Compress".

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin produces a notification stating "Compressed ... files (Finished)"
although the archive is not created.

EXPECTED RESULT
The "Compress" option should be greyed out, or Dolphin should notify the user
that permission is denied.
