Archive bit

Question / Problem

Does the TreeSize scan and/or search affect the archival bit of the scanned files?

Answer / Solution

No. TreeSize does not actively change the archive bit, and the system only changes the archive bit if a file is written. TreeSize works strictly read-only when scanning and searching and also does not modify the last access date if possible,
