It's not a "wrong" error message - it's true, as far as it goes, and it's completely unrealistic to expect error messages to be fully diagnostic - they're a starting point.

Not wrong?

 

Let us have a look at the error message:

"The following files were not imported because they could not be read"

 

This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?

 

No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.

 

It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.

 

A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."
