how to get a watchface version number so it shows up in the Versions Available on the server list?

[rjdprkns]

When I upload/update a version of a watch face, I cannot find how to get the version of the face in the list of versions available for download. The ways I've tried don't do the job. Such as putting version number in the name of the zip file, or in the watchface name field in the update page. Does the watchface update page have a place to put that info? Or do I have to embed the version in the editor that watchface update can retrieve from the zip file?

Right now the system simply uses the file name as the version label.
So if all uploaded files have the same name, the versions list will look exactly like in screenshot

There’s currently no separate field on the update page for a version number, and the site does not read version info from inside the watch face package itself.

So for now the recommended way is simply to rename the uploaded file, for example:

• simple_v1.zip
• simple_v2.zip
• simple_v3.zip

Then the versions list will become much clearer.

Thank you! I'll rename the zip files; upload again. What happens if I add _v1 etc to all the other files in the folder?

That’s completely fine — on the server all uploaded files get unique internal names anyway, so nothing will overwrite existing files even if you rename them with _v1, _v2, etc.

Got it. Thanks again.
