Posix does not permit the movement of a read-only folder (no write permission), regardless of the permissions on its parent. Currently, when moving a read-only folder to another directory, Dolphin shows a dialog giving options to move or copy. Clicking move results in a "access denied". Expected behavior is similar to how attempting to move files within read-only directories behaves; dialog should suggest only "copy" or "link"
