Alfresco Document Versioning

[skorde]

Hi
We would like to control the document auto versioning in the following cases
1) When user saved document in CIFS don't create version every time create only when user closed that document after save
2) Create version only when user check-in the document in web
3) Only maintain last five updated version and delete the remaining versions

Good question, I'm being asked to change the increment from 0.1 to 0.01, and to somehow control when full steps (1.0, 2.0, etc) are done, to keep in sync with corporate policies.  I have been unable to find any way to configure this, and a search through the javadocs was not at all helpful.

I'll be the third person to chime in with the same request.
We're also trying to do the same thing.
Is there a simple example that demonstrates manual versioning of a document (autoversion of versionable turned off)?

I have workaround for this,
1) Applied Auto Version aspect on space.
2) Upload the document with unchecked the auto version box or we can do it automatically through the xml by setting auto version property to false of version aspect.
3) Now onwards alfresco will only generate document version when you check-out the document and not for every time you saved document.
