Archiving files
On ticalc.link, there is currently no way to archive files when transferring like in TI-Connect. Is there any way to add this?

Do you mean that when transferring the file ends up on the calculator, already archived? I guess that would be a matter of setting the right property, but I'd have to figure that out and build it into ticalc-usb. And seeing that you can achieve the same result by archiving the file on the device after the transfer, it's not really a priority at the moment.
(I wrote ticalc.link and ticalc-usb because I didn't find any linking software that "just worked" and that I liked for MacOS, after about a decade of not touching TI calculators. So ironically enough, I'm really not familiar with the features of other software 🙈 Please let me know if you meant something completely different!)

yes! TI-Connect can do this, and it would be helpful to have in ticalc.link
Alright, I'm sure someone reading this will be able to confirm if I'm correct in thinking that this would be a matter of setting DUSB_AID_ARCHIVED to true instead of the value of the archived attribute of the file in these lines:
https://github.com/Timendus/ticalc-usb/blob/f5b30333333bd730bd0ee56d232bcadbcb5c4951/src/dusb/ti84series.js#L125-L129
If that's the case, it wouldn't be much work, I guess.
Yup. Simply add a mode where you force entry.attributes.archived to true before passing said entry to the variable sending code.
