Desktop client sets System attribute on sync folder, hiding it from file managers #846

Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install OpenCloud desktop client on Windows
  2. Configure a sync folder (e.g. C:\Users\tomas\OpenCloud)
  3. Open the folder location in a file manager that respects the System attribute (e.g. Total Commander)

Expected behavior

  • The sync folder should be visible in all file managers without special configuration.

Actual behavior

  • The client sets the Windows System attribute (attrib +S) on the sync folder, presumably to apply a custom icon via desktop.ini. This hides the folder from file managers that filter system files (e.g. Total Commander). The attribute is re-applied periodically, so manually removing it with attrib -S is only a temporary fix.

Setup

  • Windows 11
  • OpenCloud Desktop (latest)
