STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. mount an ISO image via 'Mount' option from context menu of Dolphin or insert a cd/dvd/bd disc
2. click on 'Disks & Devices" applet in system tray and click on your mounted ISO image or inserted cd/dvd/bd
3. click on 'Reformat or edit with Partition Manager' device action
4. enter your password to open KDE Partition Manager

OBSERVED RESULT
KDE Partition Manager opens and shows an error. Please see the attached screenshot showing the error that occurs
when I reproduce the bug with an ISO image.

EXPECTED RESULT
'Disks & Devices' applet should not offer 'Reformat or edit with Partition Manager' device action for devices that can not be formatted nor edited .

I guess we need to check for read-only volumes in desktop file

Currently we have [ StorageVolume.ignored == false AND StorageVolume.usage == 'FileSystem' ]
