Manually change version number in doc library

Hi,
We are uploading some documents to a MOSS Doc Library and need to force the version of some documents to start at a specific version number - is this possible?
All the best

Hello,
      Moss 2007 transact the version internally, that seems no direct way to set version number manually. Here I have some methods you can take reference:
1.       If you want to directly set a low version document to a higher one, e.g. 1.0 à 5.0. You can achieve it through repeating checkout/checkin operation.
2.       To the contrary, if you want to directly set a higher version document to a lower one, e.g. 5.0 à 1.0. Then you can try follow process:
1)     Find the document you need to change the version number in the document library.
2)     Hover on the document. Click on Version History of the dropdown menu.
3)     Right click on the Version of the document and click Save and choose a location for the document (i.e. your desktop) and Close. And OK.
4)     Return to the Document Library.
5)     Click on Upload Document.
6)     Find the location of the Document you saved .
7)     Enter your Version Comments and click Save.
Hope it can help you.

Powershell update Field Value without changing version number

I want to update a value in a field in a list for a lot of list items.
However, this list has major and minor versioning turned on, and an approval process.
When I update the field's value for all the required list items, I don't want the approval process to start and I don't want the version number to change.
How can I do this?
This is my code so far:
$siteUrl = "http://portal"
$listName = "list name"
$field1_Name = "category"
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity $siteUrl
$list = $web.Lists[$listName]
$items = $list.Items
ForEach ($item in $items)
    if ($item[$field1_Name].ToString() -eq "testing")
$url = [String]::Format("{0}/{1}",$web.Url, $item.File.URl)
    $file = $web.GetFile($url)
$file.CheckOut()
write-host $item.name
       $item[$field1_Name] = "testing again"
       $item.Update()
$file.CheckIn("updated category name", [Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPCheckinType]::MajorCheckIn))
$web.Dispose()

Instead of calling $item.Update() call $item.SystemUpdate($false); That will update the fields without incrementing he version number of the listitem. Read about it here:

Changing version number

I changed the version number on mac os 10.4.11 to 10.5.5, only the user visable number.
if i change the actuall system version number could I mess things up or am i safe?

If your purpose in doing this is to fool an installer into installing some unsupported software on that operating system, it likely still won't work even if you manage to fool the installer. Operating system updates are much more than a version number in terms of their differences.
If your purpose is to fool someone else buying from you your machine into thinking they are buying the latest, that's fraud.
Either way, I can't think of any reasonable reasons to change the operating system version. Suffice it to say, you'd stand a better chance at getting 10.5 compatibility simply by buying a used or refurbished Mac that actually meets its specs and selling your own old one if you need the money to get change machines. Recognize also, that 10.5 eliminates Classic support on the same partition/hard drive.

HT5958 Audio prevents relinking to original media -- can I manually change the number of audio channels for a video clip?

I recently updated to Final Cut X 10.1. I had a project for which I was heavily editing the audio, so I was using the "detach audio" feature and in some cases deleting the audio track. Now, when I try to go into the timeline and relink the movie files (which weren't linked automatically after update), the original media won't relink because "the original file didn't have audio, but the new file does."
Is there anyway to edit the misreferenced file so it beleives it has an audio track?
Thank you for any and all suggestions. I really don't want to start this edit over from scratch.
Ben

Thanks for the responses, guys. I guess I wasn't really all that clear. Something to do with FCP 6 and the Kona III card is telling FCP to set up each project with 16 channels of audio - and ONLY 16 channels of audio. Anywhere that there is a drop-down or check box, the drop-down or check box is either grayed out or only provides choices centered around 16 channels of audio. So, for example, let's say I go to the "Capture Presets" tab under "Audio/Video Settings" and click on "Edit" to modify the current preset. Under "QuickTime Audio Settings," I select "AJA Kona" as my device. Then, under the "Format" drop-down, I have four possible audio formats to choose from - ALL of them showing 16 channels (e.g. - "48.000 khz 24-bit 16-channel"). Nowhere is there an option of selecting, say "48.000 khz 24-bit 2-channel." Everything under every tab specifies 16-channel. So, as a result, I can't tell it to disable the fourteen tracks that I'll NEVER use. I even tried starting with the "Generic" settings tab, used to create your own presets, and even that would ONLY allow me 16-channels - and I couldn't over-ride it!
So far, the only way I've found to work around this is to manually go in and turn off the little green nodes indicating which audio track(s) you don't want to capture. The problem is, every time I have to do this, I'm manually turning of FOURTEEN audio channels.
Hope this helps clarify...

PO Ammendment and version number

Dear Experts,
We have version management active at out client.
When we save the PO after changes version number is generated and changes are saved against that version number.
We want the report where we can see the Ammendment details in the PO , that is changes thet were made in that particular PO.
What are the tables and which are the fields where we can find these details.
Is there any standard report available where i can see those changes in PO.
Pl. guide.
Best Regards,
Vikram

Hi
I dont think standard report is there to show versions created in purchase orders.
You can use the table EREV, doc type F which shows version numbers with status active or completed..
Thanks

Manually changing a document version number when importing an existing document

Hello.
Like a lot of people, we are starting to make use of Sharepoint Online as part of an Office 365 subscription.
One of the things we want to do is move a bunch of version controlled documents from their current location on a traditional network file share into a Sharepoint Document library, and then use approval and version history to control and track changes.
At the moment these are stored with the version number as part of the file name, so we have something like "Company car policy - version 6.docx". When there's a new version, the old one is moved to an archive folder and a new copy is saved as "Version
7.docx" which is outdated and far from ideal.
I've created my library, tested that approvals work, and have found instructions on how to use a workflow to notify people that changes have been made. That's all fine, but if I upload an existing document into the library it will start the version number
at 0.1 or 1.0 depending on whether I add it as a draft or final.
What I need to be able to do is to manually change the version number to match our existing system without having someone sit there checking a document in and out. Some of them have version numbers in the 20s so this would be a huge waste of time.
I can't believe I'm the first person to have this problem - can anyone help me please?

You are not the only one, that is for sure!
The only way (that I'm aware of and is easy to accomplish) to achieve this is the following:
* Upload your history v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6. And then it is really in sync with your current / old version numbers.
* just upload the new / latest file and check out/check in the file x times so the version number will increase every check in.
I know that this sounds weird/funny time consuming. Without 3th party tooling I don't see any other solution.
With 3th party tooling then you can perform those actions (basicaly the same actions) more quick and easy, however you need to get yourself comfortable which such tooling. One of the tools (no I'm not a sales agent or whatsover) that I know can perform metadata
changes is ShareGate. However in PowerShell you can perform also a lot of magic and without ad doubt there are a lot of migrating tools (AvePoint, Tzunami, etc) that can also "mimick" those manual steps.
My best suggestion is:
* If you need to keep the old versions upload them all one by one (if it is not too time consuming)
Otherwise
* create a archive for old versions and start in SharePoint with version 1 which is exactly the same as the latest non-SharePoint version and store that archive in a separate document library/folder/site. (only keep old versions if there is a reall need
/business case or legal case to do that.)

How do I make my iPhoto Library's version number appear in the Get Info window?

I recently (within the past 2 weeks) purchased a new 27 inch iMac and have been importing data (applications and files) from my 2010 Macbook Pro via AirDrop. One of the first files I migrated over was my iPhoto Library. I doing so, I noticed a few differences between its file attributes and those of the iPhoto Library file created by default on my new computer - two of which I'll note here. First, I noticed that the file resident on my new OS was labeled iPhoto Library.photolibrary while my older version did not have the ".photolibrary" extension. That seemed simple enough to correct so I added that extension to my old library file. The second difference I'd note - and the source of my question - is that the default iPhoto Library file displayed a version number (9.5.1) in its "Get Info" window, while mine did not. I checked my file's info.plist file and the correct information seems to be listed. It reads (in part):
<dict>
               <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
               <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>
               <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
               <string>9.5.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I'm not sure this is really a question for the iPhoto community, as it seems like a more general issue; but, this is my first post to these forums, and I didn't know where to start. Thanks in advance for the advise/suggestions.

In terms of the info.plist file, I only reviewed it to see why I wasn't seeing the version number in the GetInfo window.
The string "<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
               <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>"
is exactly what will be shown in the Get Info panel. I tested that by simply editing this string in a test library using XCode. I could "Get Info" to show ridiculous versions numbers this way.
However, none of my older iPhoto libraries will show the version string in Get Info, only libraries I created with iPhoto 9.5.1. or Aperture 3.3 or later.
There is probably one of the other database files in the folder "database" - *.appdb and *.db interfering. None of the Library First Aid options did make the version number show for my older iPhoto libraries - not even rebuilding the iPhoto library. The only way I could make the version number show in "Get Info" was by exporting the library as a new library using Aperture. But this exported library is now showing as Aperture library.

Best approcach on changing templates in a document library

Hello,
In a document library, I need to have hold two types of word documents - a) with one place for signing and b) with two places for signing. There are document templates for each one.
My approach to to use two content types, A1 for one sign and B2 for two signs. Each one will have its own document template and an event receiver will fill the docx's fields with data.
Now, there's a new specification: The user should be able to change from content type A1 to B2 and vice versa. The document should change accordingly.
My solution is an event receiver that will change the content type of the document, clear the contents of the existing docx, fill it up with the new document template's info and then fill ups the templates' fields.
Is there another approach, because this doesn't look straightforward to me. I wish I could some how swap the docx and then fillup the data, The option of deleting the document and recreating it, is my very last option.
Thank you
Christos

SWF name and version number for bug reports

Hi,
When users report issues we ask for a screen dump , but we would like the course version number and the SWF name to appear in the screen footer.
We have looked at a number of options, but we are a bit stuck.
SWF name
1/ Pipwerks mentions a Cp variable called cpORGSWFPath
"Informational variable. Provides the file name for the project’s main SWF. Appears to duplicate functionality of cpOrgSWFPath.NOTE: This value can only be obtained when the project uses an external skin. " for CP5
http://pipwerks.com/2010/08/23/complete-list-of-variables-for-adobe-captivate-5/
Does anyone know how to access this ?
2/ We could manually enter it in the cpInfoprojecttname field, but it wont change if we update the file
Version Number
1/ The Scorm manifest creates a version number. Can I get the information from Scorm ?
2/ My backup plan is to use fields intended for other purposes
e.g cpInfoprojecttname, cpInfoDescription
the following are not used
- cpInfoCourseId
- cpInfoCourseName

That's a recent version of Logic 9 correct?
The problem centers around a name length limitation in all versions of Logic except 9.1 and upwards (I think it's Logic 9.1) You've named an audio file with more than 30 (or 31) characters in Logic 9, unfortunately Logic 8 can't read the long name and sees it as a shortened name and a disk sector location.
#23B269 is the location of the file on the disk and if you would've created the project in 8 including the long name, Logic 8 would've written the file to disk as "heather reco#23B269.wav" and would've been able to find it.
To be on the safe side, when creating files in Logic 9 for use in 8, keep the file names under 29 characters, including spaces. Re-linking has to be done by hand, load the audio files needed into the bin and drop then in the correct track locations, Logic 8 will not be able to find the files with long names.
This used to play **** when moving projects, a home studio person finished his CD, unaware he/she uses long file names. Copies all projects and files to an external disk and takes it to a professional studio for mixing. OOPS!! The file names with the sector locations are no longer valid, the sector location has changed... the project loads with scraps of files from different projects or loads with incomplete files.

You can use version management functionality , which will give you record of changes with Reason as well as Text . This functionality will be applicable once you take print out of PO and after that you are doing any changes to PO.

Changing page number sizes

I need to change the font size of the page numbers in my 300+ page document in the CS4 version of Indesign. The page numbers were created automatically, but without the use of a master text frame (it was started in the CS3 version, which I understand doesn't have that feature). Is there a way to automatically change the font size of all the page numbers at once? This would be preferable to going through and editing them manually.

SadieDanells wrote:
Even in the original master (titled A) I can't select the number marker. I can only select the 'A' that sits in place where the number would be on a regular page, and changing that doesn't affect the other numbers in the document even if I try to 'apply master to pages'.
Sadie, here's the way it works. If you start with one master page Called A-Master, make a text frame and place an automatic page number placeholder in it, it will look like the letter A on the master page, and will be replaced by the page number on the document page. You can't select or change the number on the document page unless you detach the text frame from the master page on the document page by clicking on it while holding shift and command. Once detached from the master, the text frame will act the same as if you had created it on the document page, so things like moving or changing the placeholder on the master page will no longer update on that document page.
If you make another master page called B-Master and base it on A-Master, the existing page number marker on the B-Master will also read as A since it is a copy of what was on the A-Master. If you made a second marker on the B-Master, it would have a B instead of an A. If you were to detach the copy of the text frame on the B-Master from the A-Master, it will change from an A to a B, and you will be able to edit it, but just like the link from the master page to the detached document page, the link from the A-Master to the B-Master will be broken, so updating the A-Master will no longer update on the B-Master.
So, to do what you want, you can either change the placeholder on the A-Master and it will change there, on any masters that were based on A, and on all document pages that were based on A or the masters based on A. If you don't want to do that, detach the text frame on the B-Master and it will update on all of the document pages based on B-Master, but all those based on A-Master will remain the same.
Does that help, or did I give you too much info?

Version number in 'About the Application' with Oracle SCM

We are using Designer 6i with Headstart 6.5. We will be turning on Source Configuration Manager in Designer shortly , but after we go live. Hence we want to set up the P_revision value for displaying version in 'About this Application' form before using SCM, and want to do it so there will be minimal change when SCM Does get turned on.
The Question:
Can someone tell how the SCM version number get loaded into Headstart's p_revision on th forms ???

The P_REVISION is just a forms parameters with as default value the version number.
There is no direct link between the version number determined by SCM and this parameter.
However there is Headstart utility which create or update the P_REVISION parameter to a manual supplied value or to the version number as determined by SCM.

Thank you so much EvgeniyBaryShev VI! I was able to see the available TF_BUILD environment variables. The PowerShell script was looking for a 0.0.0.0 pattern in the build number stores in TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER. Once I changed the build number format,
