A Question about var Files

[noneedtoknow]

Hi, im new to Vam so maybe its a stupid question but:

im confused about the .var files in the AddonPackages Folder. There are a lot of same files like AcidBubbles.Timeline.234,...AcidBubble.Timeline.276 etc. etc.
I have read, that VaM updates the files to the newest Version so i think there should be only one AcidBubbles.Timeline.xxx and not 50.
So can anyone please tell me what does it means to have a lot of same var Files with diffrent number?

Sadly you think wrong

Meshed (the dev of VAM) has thought of handling plugins/code who do not handle legacy features. If you're not familiar with the concept, simply imagine a plugin doing a thing "A" and in the next version, not able of doing "A" anymore while doing a new feature "B". Having the proper version for a scene is in this case important.

In the case of Timeline, you can generally remove old version and keep the most recent one, as Acid did pay attention to handle all legacy scenes (in most cases). You can do that for a bunch of plugins, but in general, if you like specific scenes, be sure to test them if you remove plugins.

If you're new, we highly recommende you read these.
