Description of the bug

After running the manual refresh on a music album, the album cover image that is stored in a directory together with audio files (like cover.jpg) is getting deleted. When setting the library source to read-only, it tries to remove the file, and the error appears (log attached)

Reproduction steps

  1. Using the web client, navigate to a music library
  2. Click 3 dots on a music album, select "Refresh metadata"
  3. Select refresh mode "Replace all metadata"
  4. Check "Replace existing images"
