           Summary: Add warning message if device is write-protected
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 1.99
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: peter.penz19@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: kde@privat.broulik.de


Version:           1.99 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

There should be a warning that a device (i.e. USB stick) is write-protected
when browsing it in Dolphin.
Scenario was as follows:
My mom tried to copy some file onto her USB stick and suddenly she came and
said it was not working, there was always "You do not have permission" etc. I
tried un- and remounting it from Device Notifier and mounting from console gave
me a "The device is mounted write-protected", until I figured out this USB
stick has some sort of Write-protector slider I just knew from old floppies. A
simple info bar in Dolphin would have at least given me the hint that it is not
her permissions or Kubuntu rights or whatever was messed up.
It should be possible to differenciate between "No permissions" and "Device is
already mounted read only", and if it is a CD :P

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert a write-protected USB stick

Actual Results:  
Copying files naturally fails but because of "Missing permissions"

Expected Results:  
Dolphin has a yellow statusbar saying "This device is write-protected. Make
sure you have unlocked it" (or so)
