Thanks Roberto for this info. I will try to add the timestamp (from getmtime) to the filename, put them in the watch folder, split the filenames after an upload to get the timestamp and add an extra field in the document version model. Maybe not the most elegant way but it is only for the initial bulk upload, for new documents the users have to add it manually through metadata.
