Title:
  Natilus should ignore read only attribute for folders in a windows
  share

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Windows uses the read-only attribute for folders solely to indicate
  that this folder should be rendered in a special way (e.g. Fonts
  folder, Desctop, Videos, ...). So a folder with the read-only
  attribute set is actually considered writeable. Nautilus however
  considers it actually read only and deactivates certain features like
  creating files and folders. This should not happen.

  A description of the Windows behaviour is at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 . Also the underlying smb and gvfs do allow proper write access (e.g. via shell commands). 
  Nautilus however interprets the missing "w" flag and deactivates certain operations.

  Nautilus should recognise that a folder is a smb mount and still
  assume write access.
