I've been doing some organizing of my Addon Packages recently, and what I've noticed is that a lot of the look .vars don't actually have an appearance preset but instead just a scene preset. I've been going from character to character saving them as custom appearances, then extracting the .vars into what they contained (Custom folders and Saves folders). I then move those folders over to the main VAM folder and just let it save over anything its a copy of.
Now, if I kept the original .var in the AddonPackages, the custom appearance presets would load perfectly fine; however, extracting them and still keeping all of their contents in VAM, it now doesn't load anything properly, even if the content its pathed to is still there.
For example, when loading one of my custom presets after extracting the .var then deleting the .var but moving the extracted contents to their proper folders, I get this error spam:

The problem is is that if I go look for myself, ALL of those paths still contain the proper files. They're not gone, its still looking in the right location, and the contents haven't moved, but it says its not valid?
Can someone help me please?
I'm assuming that since the first path is the actual .var itself, I'm assuming its trying to path through that .var that's no longer there, is there any way to change this?
