I did try creating a management class with the following settings and specified the management class in the opt file using DIRMC MCNOLIMIT Versions Data Exists nolimit Version Data Deleted nolimit Retain Extra Versions 90 Retain Only Version 90
Could be that the MCNOLIMIT has not been bound to those folders. If Im reading your article correctly, even with the current settings (retain extra version = 30) it seems that I can only go back 1-2 days before the folder will not be displayed in the GUI. This makes sense since the versions data exist = 2.
