Add Skip All in error message

I'm trying to copy a large number of files and a lot of them give me the following error message:

Error: cannot write xxx!
Please, remove the write protection!

Skip - Retry - Abort.

I've so far clicked about 100 times on Skip. That's not user-friendly.
Maybe a "Skip all" button should also be introduced?

Well, if you know about a write protected target, it is better to choose "Abort" and try it again after correction.

On the other hand, if you would have a "Skip all" button you don't know which files are copied and which ones not.

Well, no actually, it's not practical.

I'm trying to copy a large series of folders with sub folders. Some of the stuff copied are temp files (with stupid write protection) that are not actually needed. But as they are burried in a complex tree of subfolders, I can easily skip them while copying the important files. If I did what was suggested, it would take me 10 days to do it.

Beside, if we have overwrite all when a file name clashes, the same logic should apply to skip all. If I say skip the write protected, I known which ones were not copied, the ones with write protection, same as "Overwrite all older".
