This shouldn't be allowed because: 1) Trying so will fail, and you will only achieve a copy operation. 2) It is impossible to move something that is read-only, because you can't delete it. Try this: Middle click a read-only file and drag to a writable folder. Given options to copy, link, move, cancel. The option to move should be disabled. If I do try to move the file will copy and then I see this error dialog. Error while moving. "FILENAME" cannot be moved because it is on a read-only disk. [Cancel Button] [Retry Button] I don't know what the retry button is meant to do. If nautilus knows that the file is on a read-only disk, why user to move it. Is is already impossible to "cut" read-only files, moving operations should be the same. The above behaviour will occur when Shift-dragging a read-only file and should be disabled.
