[Shotwell] permissions on image files

Hi all,
today, while importing old images form a CD I found, I faced the
following problem:
I imported my images by dragging them onto the Shotwell window, which
worked perfectly well. However I found that the date-field was set
wrong, so I selected the files in Shotwell and attempted to change date
and time on the original files. This led to an error, that the original
files could not be changed.
I checked the permissions in my library and found that the file were not
writeable by the owner (me). This must be due to the fact that they were
imported from a non-writeable medium. I would still expect Shotwell to
change the permissions to writeable when importing them into the library
(which is on a rw-medium) by copying.
Cheers, Lars.
