Changing timestamp of files should set archive attribute
Changing timestamp of files should set archive attribute
When changing the timestamp of files, the archive attribute bit should be set to make sure that those files are backed-up (again) so that file and backup have consistent timestamps.

Re: Changing timestamp of files should set archive attribute
Really? I thought the archive bit is a bit outdated (excuse the pun).

Re: Changing timestamp of files should set archive attribute
Its still used by some backup tools and possible user scripts.
So I think the poster is right, the archive bit should be set when changing time stamps.

Okay, it seems to make sense and no harm.

Re: Changing timestamp of files should set archive attribute
I just found that changing the timestamp on a R-O file also resets the R-O attribute. Oops, that should not be happening!

Re: Changing timestamp of files should set archive attribute
Of course! A logic flaw when I added setting the archive attribute. Fix comes.
