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.

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 I thought the archive bit is a bit outdated (excuse the pun).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.
