Save Before Navigating does not recognize file attachment, work around?

Anyone run into this issue and have a solution? The class SaveBeforeNavigating will only Auto Save if it detects a change on the record. However, it does not see a file being attached as a change. ...

A solution is to have a form rule to "dirty" the record when opened for edit, using a form rule.  I make a numeric field and another field with a formula of that numeric field +1, then a form rule to change the data entry field to the value in the formula field. But it does mean that the record will  get dirtied when no real change ws made, if the user was just "looking" in edit mode..
