If described as above, every file should have this attribute (!)
Of course it should be like that. And we already do it like that; no news here, move on. I'd be pretty astonished if we failed to set it somewhere. (but then I've had shocking experiences with Wine API compatibility before, so...)
Actually, the flag can be cleared (usually by a backup program, for incremental or differential backups). Now, I don't think (but could be wrong) that this flag is still used actively, even by backup programs (a database would probably be their best bet know, with a signature of the file).
In Wine, the flag is only "set" when a program wants to know the attributes of a file; elsewhere, the attribute is non existent. So I guess it can stay that way.
Insyde, does the Archive flag is one of the differences you saw? BTW, FAT32 or NTFS?
