Prefer read/write images over read/only images

With additional stores there is a risk that you could have
multiple images with the same name.  IE An older image in a
read/only store versus a newer version in the read/write store.

This patch will ignore multiple images with the same name iff
one is read/write and all of the others are read/only.
