Well, actually Pe does not always plays nicely with file's attributes.
Try this to see what I mean:
- Grab any text file and add an Icon attribute to it.
(I did that for a couple of "Install.sh"/"Uninstall.sh" scripts).
- Open the file in Pe, change something, save, close.
Go to Tracker to see how the icon got corrupted (the 32x32 one, the smaller
looks ok).
Here, the 32x32 Icon attribute gets overriten with FF's and shrinked to 24
bytes long (both QuickRes and OBOS DiskProbe report that).
This could be the old issue of attributes not fitting within the BFS block
(mine is 2048), but the fact that this happens even when the "pe_info"
attribute was already there makes me think its Pe's fault.
