    I'm having troubles with a 7z-archive made on a Linux box. I've used the command line 7za command on folder 'sourcefolder' (which is placed on a vfat partition mounted on /windows) as follows:

    7za a archive.7z /windows/sourcefolder

    where some of the files in the subdirs of 'sourcefolder' has both the a and h flags set (set by fatattr +h command and confirmed to be set in the file system).

    However, when I examine the 7-zip archive in 7-zip File Explorer on my Windows box, only the a flags are preserved while h flags are cleared.

    Is it possible to preserve the fat32 hidden flag?

    Very thankful if somebody has a thought on this.

    Ah...I just realized this should be posted in the forums for p7zip - you can disregard this post.
