Still no clue
I try to go forward but now I discovered that office 2011 (for mac) is doing the same thing !
What seems to happen
- Word (for exemple) open the file (let say a.docx)
- I work on it
- I click the save button
- Word create a file Temp_XXXX.docx on the webdav
- Word delete the old opened file (so a.docx)
- Word rename Temp_XXXX.docx to a.docx

So when I look to a.docx file in Alfresco, this one has no history but a creation and a change of name…
I still can access to the old a.docx file in the garbage but it's not suitable in a working environment
Please tell me I missed something !

To answer this question you need to include the aspect versionable.

Hi, we have a similar problem. the actual copy of the file is ok, but some, if not all versions before, turned to 0bytes. When you look op de noderef of the version, you will find that in the same folder of the "0 bytes" document, there is actually your desired document. It's just not referred to from the version history. This is indeed a big problem. Did anyone else experienced this problem and figured out a solution?
