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?
