An error has occurred during processing. Please make sure that files are not read-only

Oh my goodness, I've finally made it! The registration process has been a struggle for weeks.

The registration itself goes through, but the activation email simply doesn't arrive.

And finally... here I am with my significant issue: when attempting to add copyright information to an image's metadata (specifically under IPTC fields) for WebP files, I unfortunately encounter the following error message upon clicking 'Write.' I've been unable to find any solution for this.

Might a separate message like 'IPTC cannot be edited on WebP files' be better?

Yes, this would be more clear and direct.
