This is just a reminder to users that even though your files may be marked as READ-ONLY they can still be moved, copied or renamed.

Just accidently renamed 100+ files. Good job I had a back-up.

IMatch allows to rename files marked as read-only for two reasons:

1. This was very often requested.
2. Windows Explorer handles it the same way.

Making a file read-only using the Windows read-only flag protects a file from being accidentally deleted or overwritten. It does not prevent move, rename or copy.
