How to remove backup files suffix?

Hi

I am using Creo 2.0 . I have created a mapkey, that saves the current file and deletes the old versions of the file. This is done by File>save, File>Manage File >Delete Old Versions.

Say the name of the file is "car.asm". When using the mapkey the new file will be named "car.asm.2".

Is there a way to get rid of the suffix number in the end of the filename?

    Hello Frederik Hansen

    there is no simply way to remove "file version".

    Personaly don´t use Creo function like you have described.

    Instead of this l´m using Spurge utility. See folowing topic Re: Spekan Purge Tool

    There is possibility to rename last version to no:1.

    But the number of version will be always included in file name.

    It´s possible to hide file extensions somwhere in Windows (it´s Windows settings --- NOT CREO settings)

    Hope it can helps

    Regards Milan

    Why does rename action had to be called from within Pro/E session? For all practical reasons the file index is hidden from an end user by Pro/E's 'File Open' dialog GUI. On the other hand, the renaming of a file from the OS is a trivial matter...
