-read-only breaks Parent -> Paste

-read-only breaks Parent -> Paste

if you set -read-only
& Ctrl+X, & Parent -> Paste that file
- it does not get moved
instead:

Item not found:
Could not find this item
This is no longer located in C:\TMP\X\Y\Z\name.tst.
Verify the item's

Name.tst
Item type: tst File
Size: 0 bytes


("0 bytes" is incorrect.)

I suspect the item being cut no longer exists.

-read-only will most likely cause items that no longer exist to show up in your results.


Could you please verify the cut item still exists.
When using -read-only, if I cut an item and use Parent Folder -> Paste, I get the following error:

The source and destination file names are the same.

which is expected.



If Everything cannot create a ITEMIDLIST for the shell dialog (most likely because the file doesn't exist), it will create a 'simple ITEMIDLIST' where the size will likely be reported as 0.

(I'm going to have to re-review this...
I'll note, that I was using both 1307 & 1310 in this instance, with 1307 set to r/o.)
