GUI show only last 20 versions of the object

[cbfischer]

Expected Behavior

Show all versions of the object.

Current Behavior

Using the graphical interface, it is only possible to view the last 20 versions of the object.
Via command-line all versions appear.
Is it some intentional limitation of the graphical interface?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Create dozens of versions of the same file.

Twenty versions are already plenty? - what are you trying to do?

It's nothing urgent, just to note that the graphical interface does not show the correct number of versions, and the current version is always version v20... while via command-line the current version can be v105.

For me it is not an important limitation. If the original project was to consider only 20 versions using GUI, there is no problem.
But the GUI could just warn that there are other versions that are not being listed.

Tks.

I think we should fix the versions counter in the UI.

It does seem a little weird that you can't access older versions with the object browser if they're there, but as @cbfischer said the main issue is that you can't even see that there are more versions available !

I've been assuming that MinIO was only keeping the last 20 versions of file and never bothered setting up anything to cleanup. I realized my mistake by randomly reading this issue and I probably have files that have hundreds of versions taking up space for nothing. It's entirely my fault for assuming the UI was the source of truth and not checking further, but if I made this mistakes others might too.

The way I see it you could :

• Show every version with a paginator
• Show the total number of versions but only display the last 20
• Show "20+" with a warning that there are more versions

Object browser is meant for common uses, for high power uses use mc.

20 versions is already plenty for any single object.

PRs that can handle scale appropriately are welcome - otherwise we have no intention of changing this for now.

Beyond X amount of versions please stick to CLI for better experience.
