Solved Is there a file that stores which scenes/objects you've hidden and favorited?

[kalapada]

I've recently had to do a fresh install and copied over all the VAM content I could but I don't seem to be able to find any file that contains the items I've hidden or favorited, leaving me with a big mess to sort through. Is there a file that contains these settings that I can copy over to the new install?

Sadly there is no single file with all user settings for hidden/favorite content.
Each item has own .fav or .hide file next to it.

For example if scene1.json is hidden there is scene1.json.hide file next to it, or if scene2.json is favorite there is scene2.json.fav file next to it.

Same is true for rest of the content.
-hairstyles (hairstyleNAME.vam.hide or preset presetNAME.vap.fav)
-clothes (same as hairstyle for hidden item or fav presets)
-morphs (Custom/Atom/Person/Morphs/*/favorites/morphNAME.fav)
-all presets (new presets xxx.vap.fav or legacy presets xxx.json.hide/fav)
-assets (assetNAME.assetbundle.fav or .hide)
-plugins (pluginNAME.cs.fav or .hide)
-folders (folderNAME.hide)


EDIT: I'm sure someone can make plugin to scan for .fav and .hide files and export them into list for easier import or toggle? ?‍

Sorry to necro this post almost 4 years later, but I wanted to let anybody else who might be wondering about this know:

VaM stores favorites and hide files in the "AddonPackagesFilePrefs" folder in the equivalent path to where the file would be.

For example, if you have a "MyScene.json" scene file in a package called "NewCreator.DummyScene.1.var", a file will be created at AddonPackagesFilePrefs/NewCreator.DummyScene.1.var/Saves/scene/MyScene.json.fav when you favorite it. Similarly, a .hide (instead of .fav) will be created when you hide a file.

So, in essence the AddonPackagesFilePrefs folder _is_ the storage for your favorites and hidden files. I hope the OP discovered this before manually recreating it all... but mostly this is here to help anybody out in future.
