Look really useful but i can't get it to work.
The package list is empty and it prompt an error :
[perfectbloo.PackageVault.PackageCache][ERROR] Failed to rescan packages: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: StartIndex can not be less than zero

Maybe i've done something wrong...

Thank you for reporting the error! I took a quick look and believe I've already found the bug. It only showed for very short package names, that's why I did not catch it myself.

I've uploaded a new version which is currently waiting for approval. The new version is published.

can this plugin be a replacement for "var browser" without the need for BepInEx?

I've never used "var browser", so I can only answer based on the plugin's description. If you tell me more about how you use "var browser", I can give you a more detailed answer. It looks to me like "var browser" dynamically loads packages when they are needed to speed up VaM startup time. PackageVault does not delay loading packages. It's more for managing your packages, and deleting unused packages and older versions.

Basically, var browser allow the user to place unused vars outside of the addonpackages folder so vam doesn't clog up on 20.000+ hoarded var folders, you can have your 250 essentials in addonpackages and the rest in the other folder. the plugin moves dynamically the vars from the backup folder to addonpackages as required for depencies. very usefull for looks presets so you can load any of them and it will grab the required vars.
thats essetial for veteran hoarders like myself

OK I see, more a replacement for the app varmanager and the like, this can be useful too

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation! In that case, yes, like you said, it's not really a replacement for var browser, but maybe for other var managers. Dynamic loading of vars is something I might want to explore in the future, but it's not the focus right now.
