Maybe for "Folder with Permanent Write Access", we can instead go with asking for write access separately from the initial folder selection (selecting a library/collection folder)? This way, we keep the folder read-only at first.

When the app needs to write into this folder, we can ask the user in different ways:

1. Two responses: always being asked when there is write activity (when the app has the focus), allow the app to automatically writes.
2. Always ask for write activity when the app has the focus, and allow background write activity as tasks the user has to define.
