File attribute -- N or T. Salamander seems confused.

I've just noticed something I haven't seen before. In the data directory of Skype on Vista there are several directories and files with an attribute N. That's according to Windows Explorer. However, Salamander shows only one file with a new (to me) attribute, T, but for a file for which Explorer displays the attribute as N (and the file's property window displays N). It seems like Salamander is in disagreement with Explorer over file attributes. It would be good to have an agreement between them.

Could you please attach screenshot of Skype directory (from Windows Explorer)?

Snapshots of both Explorer and Salamander.

Thank you!

Probably the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED attribute, displayed from Vista's Windows Explorer.

You are welcome. Then the question is this: why does Salamander display T and why doesn't it do it for all files and directories that have the N attribute?

The 'T' stands for FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY attribute and probably has nothing to do with 'N'. Windows Explorer doesn't show 'T' attribute.

We will include 'N' to the displayed attributes in Altap Salamander.
