Other VAR Manager

[hisubaki]

hello bro, Could you please assist me in restoring the program to its default settings? I'm encountering some difficulties while using your application and would like to remove the VarsLink.

Do you have any more information/errors?
What do you mean by VarsLink? Like the VAM directory?

To reset settings you have to delete all the files/folders in %LocalAppData%\VAMvarmanager

Hi, very useful tool when you want to clean up! I love it.

For your consideration, can we have an option to skip the version number when scanning for unreferenced vars, please? I often update dependencies.
Thanks.

I think he refers to feelfar's varmanager.

I also installed this manager but I don't know how to remove it.

It makes symlink for every var file I have and completely destroyed my addonpakage folder.

Is there any way I can switch to your VAR manager?

Sorry I am not sure how feelfar's varmanager works.
My varmanager is pretty simple to use though.

Why would it destroy that?

Also, there is a working fork @ https://github.com/bustesoul/varManager

Theres not a single time Bill-Prime's var manager has worked for me, I am sorry.

Ohh, is this a joke? UI needs improving, it's way too confusing tbh.

Is there any way to preview which files will be moved?

No not really. You can view the files in the directory after they have moved, and you can revert the changes as well.

All I want is to clean up my var folder and delete the vars I never use, how do I do this?

I'm missing something possibly obvious, but is there an install guide anywhere? I mean for basic laymen that just want to follow step by step instructions for everything required?

1. Put varManager.exe anywhere, or in your root VAM directory.
2. Create a directory you want to use as your backup directory.
3. Open varManager.exe.
4. Choose VAM Folder (root folder)
5. Choose Backup Folder from Step 2.
6. (Optional) Set your filters to exclude certain folders or creators var files from being moved
7. Use VarManager!
   1. Backup Unreferenced vars to backup all vars that are not being referenced
   2. Move old versions of vars to remove clutter from VAM (old versions of vars not needed, gets moved to _oldvars directory)
   3. etc.

Read my last post to setup varManager
Use the functions like Backup Unreferenced Vars to backup vars that aren't referenced
There are a lot of options to filter what you want to back up etc.

AH! Thank you so much! I'm dumb. I thought this was a plugin to run within VAM & needed some files replaced like the other VAR managers. Thank you again.
