Hi all,
This is a tiny bug, not a nasty one.
When saving a read-only file from Blender on Windows, the Blender UI does not shows in any way the file was not saved : no warning to the user and the little star in the title bar is removed, just like if the file was really saved. And in the directory of the read-only file, there remains two temporary files : the unpacked version of the Blend file which was to be saved and the gzipped version of the file which could not be saved.
Just for fun, in attachment is the original test read-only file and the two, unpacked and packed temporary files left in the place.
Have a nice day

Hi Yannick,
thanks for reporting. The issue actually was the missing error message to the user.
What happens is that to be safe, before overwriting a file Blender creates the Teste.blend@ file (and the compressed version Teste.blend@.gz) and only if all writing has been successful the old file is overwritten. (the Teste.blend@ is renamed to Teste.blend).
Only the last step can'd be executed, so Blender actually writes the file as Teste.blend@
I have fixed the code, so now the corresponding error messages appear again.
