Description
QGIS is not yet able to edit MI files. But when you have a .TAB file in you project, it is still possible to toggle it in edition. All the other edition tools are greyed but it remains possible to modify the attribute table and follow the process of saving, even if no change will be kept at the end.
On .MIF layers, the "add geometry" and "paste" tools are accessible in edition even though they are useless.
I think, to not put in confusion the user, all those tools should be greyed.

Seems to be a problem in the OGR driver. It reports that the OLCCreateField is always possible, although it apparently requires TABWrite mode. Unlike the OLCSequentialWrite capability, which is reported unavailable when TABWrite isn't available. See also GDAL #5539

Hi,
Until GDAL/OGR solved the problem, it may be great to pop-up a message that explains to the user, while trying to save changes into MapInfo files, that edition is not yet possible on such a layer (except virtual fields?). He won't therefore waste his time to try and try and try again without understanding what's going wrong....
