VaM 1.x Browser Assist deleting doesn't work

[Fuchsschweif]

I've installed the browser assist plugin (free version) and did everything as stated: activated it, ran the bat as admin so that it has the rights to delete files and restarted vam (as admin too).

But when I'm in the browser assist and choose scenes that I want to delete, hit delete and confirm it with the red button, nothing happens. Scenes persist, and do so after restarting too (not a visual bug). Any ideas?

Not a vam issue. Use the plugin's discussion page to let the creator know what issues you're having. The discussion page is for this. The creator may not see this if they don't visit the forum pages since not everyone does.

Does this plugin actually know how to remove components from var packages? Removing a scene from a var package requires repacking it and deleting references from meta.json, which would break dependencies for many var packages. Besides, a lot of data exists only within the scene itself and hasn't been saved into separate presets.

That's something to ask in the plugin's discussion page for the author.

The screenshot says in white on red that the entire contents of the packages will be deleted, and since the question was specifically about scenes, I double-checked. Maybe I misunderstood the question.

I believe it means the resources within that .var file, not outside that are listed as dependencies in or of another .var file. Can it delete other .var files even tho it's not selected or linked? Yes. That shit can happen as I was told in another forum. The creator said there are risk using the plugin but still you should ask in the plugin's discussion page. The creator is best prepared to answer any questions about their plugins. Not here tbh.
