Batch-processing ignores Read-only

As written in title above - it is dangerous that the batch-process ignores / releases the "read-only" attribute of the files.
The program should
a) Report and ask: File x.tif is write-protected. Do want want to change? yes / no / yes for all / no for all
or
b) Report at the end: Files x.tif and y.tif were not changed because of write prtection.

So 'Batch convert' (and XnConvert) must ignore read-only files?
What do you think?

I think the software should work as described above:

For option "a)" it should be discussed if it
- should be integrated in a "Preferences / Settings - Dialogue" or
- should be displayed after every start process (when a "read-only" was found).

I think relying on read attribute would be a poor way of securing files. Other programs, users can change them at will. Ignoring these throughout was my preference when using Win2k.
