If File | Export's Export filename format string (e.g. %\_folderpath%) yields a folderpath, Mp3tag mistakes it for a read-only file and says e.g.:

The file "D:\Audio\editing\Mp3Tag export info test'  
is a read-only file.  
Shall Mp3tag disable the write protection of this and  
any following read-only files?

The current [Development Build v2.40a](http://developer.mp3tag.de) should give a better error message.

Thanks for pointing!
