I keep getting an error message when I click on appearance presets. And it won't disappear unless I reboot the program.

Error: value is null or undefined

Also would be nice to select multiple resources for either enabling/disabling islands or mass deletion.

God damn that's crazy I missed that. I published 0.2.1 with a fix on my patreon, please re-download!

You can already select multiple vars in packages section so you can mass delete/isolate/enable/drag into categories/etc.... I didn't implement multiselection in browsing items since I don't think it's that useful? Triggering a Delete action on an item that is inside a var already deletes the whole var (since deleting individual items inside a var like this is a bad idea), so you don't need to select all items in a var to delete it.

If you purchase on Patreon for a one-time $10, do you get access to future releases?

Yes. I'll keep updating that post with new versions so as long as you have access to it you can re-download to update.
 
qdaro updated Qvaro with a new update entry:

Item Deduplicator, Package Files browser, and other goodies

Item Deduplicator

Qvaro detects items that are in more than one VAR and lets you decide where it should be kept and where removed.

Package Files browser

Lists all files in a package with a logical search bar. You can also click on text & image files to preview them.

I’m curious about this. How does the enable / disable actually work?

Other apps seem to have one of three approaches:
1. Move disabled files to another folder; or
2. Create symlinks; or
3. Rename files to another extension

Each approach has pros and cons. Which one are you using?
 
Is there a way to keep 1 master copy of a var that has been reused over many assets that can pick one that seems to be the legitimate copy? For example would it know something like Hunting-Succubus's Realistic Eyes and keep the original one that was made by Hunting-Succubus himself, instead of some other copy? Though not perfect I'd rather it figure it all out on its own and also modify scenes or saved looks as well. Also maybe you can modify it to deduplicate morphs since I believe that creates an even bigger performance penalty.

@qdaro: Can you answer this question, please?

It looks like a great app ... but I'm curious whether it will be suitable for me.

Thanks.

Sorry, I completely missed your post :|. It just changes the .var extension to .DISABLED. I thought this is the least bothersome way as the others add confusing complexity to users.

I'll add this info to the overview.

Qvaro is an external desktop app that allows you to browse your vars, see what's in them, see what they depend on but also what depends on them (very useful when cleaning your collection), and tons of other features. I described most of them with screenshots in overview.

Thanks. Unfortunately, that doesn't help with load times :( VAM still scans .disabled files in the AddonPackages folder during startup.

Hm... what do you mean it still scans them? From my testing, the game loads faster, person atoms load faster, and I don't see any content from disabled vars in the game, so the UI also responds faster.
Do you mean it just does a readdir() on the AddonPackages folder? Because that is almost instant. It'd only be slower if you've had each package in its own folder (so each var would require a separate readdir() call), and even then it'd take at most ~100ms.

Qvaro actually displays performance statistics in its logs where you can see how long just scanning takes (at least for Qvaro, but there's no reason VaM's directory reader would be slower). Here are catalog update metrics:

Code: 
Mode: all (checking both packages and local items)
Scanned 1846 packages in 27 categories in 6.9771ms.
- 1 to serialize, 0 to remove, 0 to sync.
Scanned 989 local items in 148.9379ms.
- 0 to serialize, 0 to remove.
Serialized 1 packages in 23.7159ms.
Inserted 41 database records in 10.5536ms.
Updated dependency counters in 127.5622ms.
Total duration 331.2899ms.

As you can see, scanning 2k packages in 27 folders is 7ms. Scanning 989 local items in a lot of folders is 149ms, which is slower, but still perceptually instant. And this is cold start on a pretty old PC. Any subsequent scans will be ~5x faster.

Can it work with a folder not inside VAM's folder structure? Does it make use of VAM's files?

I want to use it but on a collection of VARs that I have archived on another folder location.

No, sorry. The app is built to be a VaM install manager, and a lot of its features and logic depend on its directory structure. It doesn't just catalog your packages, but local items, scenes, assets, etc, and resolves dependency graphs between all of them. It's also a launcher, so it looks for VaM.exe file. It'd be quite a lot of work and complexity to make it support random locations with only vars.
But you can just put all of your vars you're currently keeping outside of VaM into some folder inside AdonPackages, which will create a category, and then just disable this category in Qvaro so those vars don't get loaded in game until you enable them.
