Hi Guest!
Please be aware that we have released a critical security patch for VaM. We strongly recommend updating to version 1.22.0.7 using the VaM_Updater found in your installation folder.
Details about the security patch can be found here.

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
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?
- Put varManager.exe anywhere, or in your root VAM directory.
- Create a directory you want to use as your backup directory.
- Open varManager.exe.
- Choose VAM Folder (root folder)
- Choose Backup Folder from Step 2.
- (Optional) Set your filters to exclude certain folders or creators var files from being moved
- Use VarManager!
- Backup Unreferenced vars to backup all vars that are not being referenced
- Move old versions of vars to remove clutter from VAM (old versions of vars not needed, gets moved to _oldvars directory)
- 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.
Hello, this is my first time using VAM as a whole so forgive me if this is a dumb question but i would like to ask, does restore all referenced vars also work with move old version of vars? or does that only apply to the backup? i dont wanna mess up my stuff so i just wanna be sure.
thanks!
edit: and by scan saves/scene for references, that also includes the saved scene in json format by the plugin BrowserAssist if im not mistaken?

Move Old Versions of vars (Unreferenced) moves those files to a new folder in your root VAM directory called _oldvars
They don't go to your backup folder. This is because we are assuming these files are obsolete and will always be obsolete.
These are files like AcidBubbles.Timeline.100 when you just need AcidBubbles.Timeline.latest or different specific versions.
You can always use the Restore Last Config/Undo or Save var Config to a file that you can restore to undo all the moved files.
Got it, many thanks for explaining it.
