Questions about provisions

[Oliver Kraitschy]

Hello Zaid,

thank you for your answer. That got me started.

Nevertheless, I'd like to select a file based on the version, not on the
filename. Is that possible? I tried to trigger a download by version 
with:

declare("Downloads.[FileType:1 Firmware Upgrade Image]",
         {path: 1}, {path: 1});
declare("Downloads.[FileType:1 Firmware Upgrade Image].Version",
         {value: 1}, {value: "1.3"});
declare("Downloads.[FileType:1 Firmware Upgrade Image].Download",
         {value: 1}, {value: Date.now()});

But that didn't work. And looking at default-provisions.js I thought 
that
it could be that it's not implemented yet.

Greetings,
Oliver
