Multiple files read-only, unable to edit metatags, admin doesn't resolve access issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Select any of the methods for tag info
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Tag info updated to archive 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
wWin7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
Random files and folders are now acting as read-only, while in the properties 
window of said files/folders, the selection box is blued out, rather than 
ticked. While I can find the relevant tag info, I cannot update the archive, as 
the save option is not available. It has occurred with both old and new files, 
but I cannot identify any particular common factor which is causing this. I've 
tried running cmd.prompt and changing attributes for the particular folders 
which have been affected, but after I change the values, they just return to 
read only. Anything I might have missed?

No problem. Yeah It seems to be an issue with Win7 and your software, It
stems from folders being in a read-only by default. Whereas other programs
seem ignore that, comictagger doesn't. I am using a program called "take
ownership" to get around the problem at present.

Hmmm. CT has is pretty careful about checking permissions, as it's a more 
common issue on the UNIX platforms like Linux and Mac OS.  It will decide that 
a file is not writable for a number of reasons including checking permission on 
the folder and the file itself.   

I've not heard of anyone else having this issue.  I wonder if your problems 
stem from having moved files from one account to another on a Windows machine?

If I'm reading this right, you're saying that the folders are marked as 
read-only, but the files are not?

I had a similar issue on win7 x64.  I got it to work by going to the files that 
were "read only", right clicking, Properties, un-check read only, apply.  This 
allowed the "Save" button to be activated, however now when I click save the 
action fails with no further information.
