Use At Your Own Risk
Package Vault deletes files permanently. Although I tested and use this plugin myself, bugs can never be fully ruled out. Use at your own risk and backup your files!
About
Replace VaM's package manager with a modern and performant UI that has search and filter options. Keep selected packages and their dependencies save in your vault. Run a purge to delete all other packages. All inside VaM and its security restrictions, without any external programs or DLLs.Overview of the new package manager UI.
How To
Add the plugin as a session plugin. The new package list UI is embedded in VaM's native package manager.- SEARCH | Use the search bar at the top to find packages by its name, creator name, or file uid.
- FILTERS | Filter your packages using the dropdowns in the left sidebar e.g. to see all packages in your vault or find packages with missing dependencies.
- CATEGORIES | The new UI includes buttons in the left sidebar to filter by categories similar to VaM's native package manager.
- VIEW MODE | Use the buttons next to the search bar to toggle between list or grid view mode, and three different item sizes.
Adding Packages to your Vault
Use the Vault Icon on items in the package list to add or remove them from your vault. Alternatively use the toggle in the package's User Preferences tab on the right side. There you can also hide packages in the list, and change how dependencies are treated for the selected package:| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | Choose the dependency mode for this package later when running a purge. |
| Exact | Keep the exact version of its dependencies. |
| Latest | Keep only the latest version of its dependencies, even if an an exact version is specified. |
| None | Keep only the vault package itself, not its dependencies. |
Backing Up Your Vault Settings
If you want to backup your vault settings, you can find them all stored in "Custom/PluginData/perfectbloo/PackageVault/Vault.json" as a single file. The other two files "Cache.json" and "Index.json" contain no user settings, and are only used to speed up gathering package meta information and finding local scene and preset package references.
Purging
Hit the Purge Vault button at the very top above the package list. In purge mode, only packages that will be deleted are listed. Note that filtering via the search bar will not protect packages from being deleted. Choose the default Dependency Mode (as described above) on the left side. If everything looks right, hit the Purge button to delete the listed packages. You will be asked to confirm one last time.EXPERIMENTAL Protect Your Local Scene & Preset References
Use the Reference Mode dropdown in the purge UI to scan your local scenes and presets for package references. Any found package references will be treated as if it was in your vault, so the package itself and its dependencies will not be deleted. This feature is experimental and might not find all references.
Purge UI listing all packages that will be deleted. Hitting the Purge button will ask you one last time to confirm before deleting the packages.
Known Issues
