IBM Connections 5(.5) FileSync and versioning

Wondering how file versioning works during filesync, i decided to fully test this functionality.

Before i began the test i checked the autoVersioning setting to avoid too many version during sync.

In file-config.xml check the following line(s) where autoVersioning must be set to “true”:

<fileSync enabled="true">
   <clientDownloadLink enabled="true"
        url="http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/ibm/connections/IBMConnectionsMSDesktop.zip"/>
   <autoVersioning enabled="true"/>
</fileSync>

After checking ( or enabling and restarting Files ) i began the test with 2 users.

This works as designed and perfect.

Until the last editor changed, the version is not changing.
