Description:
Workbench adds the file attribute "Temporary" when saving .mwb files. Some applications rely on this attribute, e.g.; Some cloud syncing software will skip files having the T attribute. 

How to repeat:
1. Create a new MySQL Workbench Model in Windows 10
2. Store the file
3. Go to file properties > details -> attributes.

This field has the value "AT" while it should not have the "T" attribute. 

Suggested fix:
Store files without the T attribute.

I have the same scenario in Windows 7 with *.mwb and *.mwb.bak files. Files are created with the "T" temporary attribute set, which prevents them from syncing with backup/cloud sync software.

I have tried to clear the flag using file system utilities, but when the file is modified again in MySQL workbench the Temporary attribute comes back again.

Weirdly, this is not the case with *.sql files, which do not get the temporary flag and can be synced using backup/cloud sync software.

Same here. Synology CloudStation would NOT sync the files with "T" attribute. All MWB and MWB.BAK files are getting "T" attribute from Workbench and there's no easy way to remove it.
Bug is still active on Workbench 6.3.9 (Win7, x64).

Temporary file attribute assigned to MWB file.

This Bug needs to be reworked.
The current version of the OwnCloud Client (2.4.1) uses the file attibutes to exclude temporary files from syncing.

Also, setting the attribute to temporary after saving does not make any sense at all and should be prevented.
