Question How do you stop something from downloading in "Scan hub for missing reference packages"?

[NerdyJack]

I want to permanently delete some scenes and dependencies from VAM and stop them from showing up in the "Scan hub for missing reference packages" area of the hub. I've tried deleting from my files and deleting the package from the "Package Builder". How can I do this? or Can you even do this? This would be nice and have a few benefits. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Go to Package Manager, find the VAR, user preferences, something disable checking...

The bottom two settings look the closest to what you say but I can tell what each of those do. I tried the "Ignore and hide missing dependency" just in case but that didn't seem to work. Am I missing something? Regardless Thanks for the help

Ah, shucks, it's only for errors, I thought it was also for ignoring dependencies. Never mind then.
Well, seems like you have to resort to editing the meta.json file inside the VAR with the removal of the dependencies you don't want:

Guides - anatomy of a VAR

This guide means to show what makes a VAR a VAR A VAR is the prefered way to share content between VaM users, with the Hub hosting thousands of them as I write this guide. Yet, this file only exists from VaM version 1.20, if not mistaken, and...

There could be tools that may present other options besides manual editing but I don't know them.

That's too bad but very helpful. Thanks!
