VaM 1.x Where does the Scan Hub for Missing Packages look?

[SlimerJSpud]

When you do a Scan Hub for Missing Packages, where exactly does it look? It's obvious it checks all the other vars in AddonPackages, but where else does it look? Does it check Custom for presets? Does it check locally saved scenes? It seems like that check doesn't take very long, so how thorough is it?

@hazmhox and @DJ I didn't get an answer to this question. Enlighten this unworthy soul, please!

I'm not sure I understand.

Missing packages (vars) are in AddonPackage folder, the system simply does a diff between your var files actually loaded from that folder and the required dependencies. I don't really know why it would go in Custom/scenes.

No presets are checked. There's a python script on my resources if you need something that does that, but probably better ones are already available.

@atani I updated the Python script to list all dependencies posted by @Pharanesch to make it more thorough. It doesn't check Saves/scene, but it checks all presets in Custom. The in game scan does check everything in AddonPackages, including sub-dependencies.

Script for listing all dependencies

I've found what looks like a bug in the script. If a custom preset exists, the script seems to skip, or not report actual var dependencies. The first pass below is with the preset removed. The second pass is after I put it back in Custom/Atom/Empty. This tripped me up a couple of times. I use...

I use this script a lot so I can figure out what's safe to delete. Most presets will silently switch to the newer version if the specified one is NLA.
