What happens to duplicate items after we select them? I understand they're hidden, how do we unhide them? Where do they go?
Changed to .NET 6.0.
I found that the app wouldn't even open after a Windows update... thanks M$
IF YOU WANT TO RESTORE YOUR SETTINGS
- Open new app in desired location, then close it.
- Open File Explorer, navigate to: %localappdata%\VAMvarmanager
- Sort by date modified, find the second newest folder, open latest version folder within that folder (.28 probably).
- This should have your old configuration user.config file
- Copy this...
This doesnt unfortunately seem to work properly atm, very buggy and complains about broken files (non existing).
However, there is a very good alternative, which I have been using for many months:

Also this is good to reduce file sizes:
Pesadilla Deduplicator
Maybe you could think about merging some ideas from above tools to yours?
Same loop happening again. I just clicked "Restore All referenced vars" and now it's stuck.
Can confirm this is happening to me as well.
It also removes VARs that are included in my default presets.
I just picked this up so I haven't seen it in its functional state, but from my understanding, I think the whole thing might be malfunctioning for me. All I want to do is only include the vars used in my presets. So I check all the boxes for "Scan local presets for References" and run "Back up unreferenced VARs" right?
I do not understand why the loop is happening for some users. The Restore All Referenced Vars function restores referenced .vars from your backup directory, then scans all active .vars again to see if it needs to restore more .vars. It will do this loop until there are no more dependent vars to restore.
I was not sure how to address the issues users are having, I will need to add some debugging information or make some core changes to how that function works. Haven't had much time to address this sorry, but any users having this issue please let me know any details.
If you only want to include .vars used in your presets, the best way to do that is to backup everything (Select all Types, Backup All Specific-Type vars) and then restore all needed .vars selecting all the boxes as you said. I know you are having issues with the restore function, but let me know if that works for you.
- Rebuilt Restore All Referenced vars functions:
- Much faster now, doesn't scan all files on each loop unnecessarily.
- Fixed issue with Restore All Referenced vars function with Restore Exceptions not moving files.
- Added Skip Favoritesoption, for use with Backup functions:
- Will skip backing up any .var file that has any item within it set as a favorite.
- Will save this state of this setting when you re-open VAR Manager...
Maybe var number affect it? I've 18k vars in my backup folder. But then sometimes it doesn't loop and most of times it's just stuck.
If you were using Restore All Referenced vars function with Restore Exceptions then that would have been a problem. Try new version.
So the exceptions don't seem to work for me. I check off a few core folders I don't want the program to touch, but regardless of what settings I try, it still moves folders from my exceptions list. What am I doing wrong?
- Added support for unpacked vars
- Updated every function to support unpacked vars, including; All var Backup/Restore functions, config Backup/Restore functions, Disable Preload Morphs, Morph Preset Maker, Duplicate Item Resolver.
- Was super easy not very much...
- Reworked Specific-Type selection, added AND/OR/NOT for each type.
- OR = includes any files that have this type
- AND = includes any files that have this type AND all other types with AND selected
- NOT = includes any files that do NOT have the selected type(s)
- Click header bar (OR/AND/NOT) to select all/deselect all.
