Actually, the buy button in the maincontrols does usually get removed if the image is not for sale. However, since the maincontrols do not update themselves for each picture when browsing a folder, it will sometimes stick.

I would want to question though, is it normal to mix photos for sale and photos not for sale in the same folder? This is the only situation where this will occur, because if a folder is accessed where images are generally not for sale, the icon in main controls will not appear.

We were considering only adding the purchase button by default in imagebuttons, but chose to add it into main controls also. You can easily disable it by going to settings -> controls.maincontrols -

In worst case scenario, you have a mixed folder of images for sale and strictly not for sale, and the visitor might get the cart-icon still available in main controls - If he clicks it, a Fotomoto window will display with no items. I spoke to Fotomoto about this, and they were going to change the window to display something like "Sorry, this image is not for sale" ...

Actually, its not entirely like this. The maincontrols are created for the first image that is viewed in the folder. If this image is for sale, the buy-button will display, and it will "stick" when clicking through the other images also (regardless of their state of sale). Likewise, if the first image viewed is not for sale, then the buy button will not display either. The controls will update if you go to and from thumbnails mode, or exit/enter the folder. This is therefore only an issue when you have mixed items for sale and not for sale in the same folder.

Good question - For now, you can add to the parameters from admin: This will prevent the images from trying to get added to the Fotomoto Dashboard (although you could always set the default collection to be "not for sale" so that all new images get added there). It also prevents any chance of fotomoto interface elements displaying (although they would not display in any case for images that are not for sale).
